The Boyqueendom of Fungoose

“WE WILL DESTROY POOR PEOPLE!”

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

The Boyqueendom of Fungoose is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Boyqueen Oliver with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.048 billion Fungoosians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Defense also on the agenda, while Environment and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Falconia. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Fungoosian economy, worth a remarkable 2,024 trillion Candycorns a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 287,213 Candycorns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 944,979 per year while the poor average 65,412, a ratio of 14.4 to 1.

The government seizes all major gold finds, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, major boxing matches are held in government buildings, and political activists are routinely executed. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Fungoose's national animal is the Goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Gross Stuff.

Fungoose is ranked 237,765^th in the world and 4^th in Fungoosiania for Most Primitive, scoring -426.38 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
