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

The Republic of Guinea Pig Horde XV is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its public floggings, digital currency, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed population of 7.832 billion Guinea Pig Horde XVians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.1%.

The strong Guinea Pig Horde XVian economy, worth 466 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,514 marks, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

The "daily grind" consists of levelling up in tedious video games, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of Guinea Pig Horde XV, and old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guinea Pig Horde XV's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Guinea Pig Horde XV is ranked 121,160^th in the world and 5,937^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
