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

The Kingdom of Buttanisiam is a very large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 167 million Pretties are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government prioritizes Healthcare, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 46.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Buttanisiamian economy, worth 5.80 trillion Diamonds a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,741 Diamonds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months, school nurse's offices feature full-service operating suites, and evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buttanisiam's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Buttanisiam is ranked 124,485^th in the world and 410^th in the Outback for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,060.44 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
