The Bloated Corpse of Dead Whale is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 45.064 billion Dead Whaleans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.
The large, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Environment. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.1%.
The strong Dead Whalean economy, worth a remarkable 1,886 trillion harpoons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 41,861 harpoons, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 284,606 per year while the poor average 2,249, a ratio of 126 to 1.
Elections have been outlawed and military spending is on the increase. Crime is a serious problem. Dead Whale's national animal is the decomposing herring.
Dead Whale is ranked 67,481st in the world and 2nd in Iceland for Highest Food Quality, scoring 29.19 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
