The Republic of Bhadeshistan is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 449 million Indians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Delhi. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Bhadeshistanian economy, worth 66.8 trillion Rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 148,841 Rupees, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,341,791 per year while the poor average 2,026, a ratio of 662 to 1.

Invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, huge explosions in the sky are a daily occurrence in the cities, mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, and it is popularly believed that "cheese every day keeps disaster away". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Bhadeshistan's national animal is the Royal Bengal Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bhadeshistan is ranked 265,796^th in the world and 5,764^th in The North Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -8.37 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
