The Holy Empire of BLUNTSZ is a small, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 45 million BLUNTSZians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Healthcare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. The average income tax rate is 22.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The BLUNTSZian economy, worth 2.12 trillion euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,032 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
The government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BLUNTSZ's national animal is the mammoth.
BLUNTSZ is ranked 186,205th in the world and 757th in the Outback for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 695.2 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
