“Strength Through Freedom”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Bam 24 is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 661 million Bam 24ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. The average income tax rate is 38.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Bam 24ian economy, worth 22.6 trillion rupees a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,116 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, the internet has been placed under government control, flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, and Bam 24 recently decided against having a capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bam 24's national animal is the bison.

Bam 24 is ranked 164,284^th in the world and 9,736^th in Suspicious for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -4 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
