“The pursuit of compassion and knowledge”

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

The People's Republic of Bibliophilius is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Bibliogogue with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.049 billion Bibliophilians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bibliopolis. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bibliophiliusian economy, worth 270 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 132,249 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Bibliophiliusian Babysitters Club has proven to be a huge relief to stressed-out parents across the nation, referenda are held for every conceivable government action, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, and evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction. Crime is totally unknown. Bibliophilius's national animal is the Goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bibliophilius is ranked 212,431^st in the world and 352^nd in The Communist Bloc for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.44 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
