The Republic of July Fun is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, rampant corporate plagiarism, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.533 billion July Funians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.8%.
The all-consuming July Funian economy, worth 463 trillion July Dollars a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,171 July Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 437,222 per year while the poor average 15,305, a ratio of 28.6 to 1.
The nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, supervisors in July Fun commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, and it's rare to find an unchewed pencil. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. July Fun's national animal is the July Animals, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
July Fun is ranked 27,995th in the world and 173rd in The Funian Puppet Region for Largest Black Market, with 92.4 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
