The Most Serene Republic of Bloody Sire is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, fear of technology, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 5.545 billion Bloody Sireans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Bloody Sirean economy, worth 596 trillion Double Axes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 107,532 Double Axes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, and supermarkets must refund spoilt milk even six months after the sale. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Bloody Sire's national animal is the Hurt Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Bloody Sire is ranked 2,767th in the world and 155th in The North Pacific for Most Pacifist, with 171.76 cheeks turned per day.
