“The pursuit of compassion and knowledge”

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

The People's Republic of Bibliophilius is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bibliogogue with a fair hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.795 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 Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bibliopolis. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Bibliophilian economy, worth 877 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 182,921 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, and sex changes are routinely performed at Bibliophilius's hospitals. Crime is totally unknown. Bibliophilius's national animal is the Goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bibliophilius is ranked 3,480^th in the world and 64^th in The Communist Bloc for Smartest Citizens, with 149.55 quips per hour.
