“Might Makes Right”

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

The Republic of Durrnil 16 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.542 billion Durrnil 16ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 58.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Durrnil 16ian economy, worth 508 trillion bitcoins 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. 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 111,990 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People can often be seen driving to work in war-surplus tanks, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, shoppers insist that instruction labels exempt their purchases from VAT, and traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Durrnil 16's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Durrnil 16 is ranked 37,568^th in the world and 5^th in Bolognaise Battalion for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,459.67 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
