The Most Serene Republic of Gautam Buddha is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.338 billion Gautam Buddhans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.
The strong Gautam Buddhan economy, worth 232 trillion Peaces a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. Average income is 43,566 Peaces, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 196,268 per year while the poor average 5,960, a ratio of 32.9 to 1.
Nobody draws smiley faces on receipts anymore, the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, schoolchildren are divided over Leader's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech, and nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Gautam Buddha's national animal is the Universe, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Gautam Buddha is ranked 196,770th in the world and 2,047th in the Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
