OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Government of Governus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by MrGovernus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, lack of airports, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.486 billion Governusians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of GovernusCity. The average income tax rate is 7.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Governusian economy, worth a remarkable 4,474 trillion ious 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 Gambling, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 162,780 ious, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Gun ownership is compulsory, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, even doll houses and dog kennels have to be able to withstand rigorous earthquake testing, and X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Governus's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Governus is ranked 5,864th in the world and 79th in Nederland for Most Stationary, with 2,989.66475328 days.
