The United States of Bushidorum is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 9.887 billion Bushidorumians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 35.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but sluggish Bushidorumian economy, worth 218 trillion bitcoins a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 22,117 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bushidorum's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Bushidorum is ranked 265,678th in the world and 12,982nd in Lazarus for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 657.87 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
