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

The Region of Bicol is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 23.44 billion Bicolanoes are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, pro-business government prioritizes Spirituality, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare receives no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.4%.

The very strong Bicolano economy, worth 860 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 36,720 pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 112,173 per year while the poor average 9,317, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Voting is compulsory and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime is a problem. Bicol's national animal is the tabios.

Bicol is ranked 190,067^th in the world and 34^th in Terranova for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.86 kickbacks per hour.
