The Antifa Catgirl of Bunkum is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bunkum with an even hand, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.195 billion Bunkumians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bunkum. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Bunkumian economy, worth 842 trillion bunkums 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 an impressive 135,981 bunkums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Attempted suicide is punishable by public hanging, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, and a video of Bunkum wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bunkum's national animal is the bunkum, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Bunkum is ranked 46,370th in the world and 2nd in Fascist HRE for Most Stationary, with 941.79927224808 days.
