The State of Gillipollas

“Pride and Industry”

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

The State of Gillipollas is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.932 billion Gillipollasians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.5%.

The very strong Gillipollasian economy, worth 728 trillion betales a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is 61,019 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 203,095 per year while the poor average 13,661, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gillipollas's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gillipollas is ranked 180,269^th in the world and 6^th in Great Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 964.72 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
