The Empire of Bistrostan

“Big things come in small packages”

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

The Empire of Bistrostan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 44.61 billion Bistrostanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bistrostan City. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bistrostanian economy, worth an astonishing 22,256 trillion drachmas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 498,913 drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Life is somewhat repetitive, weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, and government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Bistrostan's national animal is the cheetah, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bistrostan is ranked 9,872^nd in the world and 1^st in The GameFAQs Forum for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 9,711.7 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
