OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Republic of Bigboy485 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.049 billion Bigboy485ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.4%.

The powerhouse Bigboy485ian economy, worth 195 trillion dubloons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 95,567 dubloons, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens must inform the government each time they have a haircut, protests are illegal, schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar, and Leader's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bigboy485's national animal is the ox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bigboy485 is ranked 113,043rd in the world and 430th in Big Boy Brigade for Smartest Citizens, with 34.17 quips per hour.
