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

The Rogue Nation of Despicable Bidding Practices is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 7.795 billion Despicable Bidding Practicesians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 73.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Despicable Bidding Practicesian economy, worth 700 trillion Pennies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration and Retail. Average income is 89,837 Pennies, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, and the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Despicable Bidding Practices's national animal is the clown, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Despicable Bidding Practices is ranked 226,277^th in the world and 313^th in racoda for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 23,806.83 Standard Monetary Units.
