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

The Democratic Republic of Baxingtull is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 858 million Baxingtullians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 64.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Baxingtullian economy, worth 133 trillion Eggs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 155,041 Eggs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps, the Foreign Ministry thinks an eye for an eye is a blindingly good idea, and citizens try to pass off bottlecaps they found in their backyards as historical artifacts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baxingtull's national animal is the Porpoise Chicken Dinosaur Creature, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Baxingtull is ranked 255,477^th in the world and 4,753^rd in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 44.35 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
