“Work Hard, Suffer Harder”

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

The Federal Republic of Khundenceylestan is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its national health service, complete lack of public education, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 293 million Khundenceylestanians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.8%.

The thriving Khundenceylestanian economy, worth 16.5 trillion Uranium Bills a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 56,421 Uranium Bills, with the richest citizens earning 9.6 times as much as the poorest.

Wrongful arrests abound as 'criminals' blame the guy next to them, the government has repealed elections for fear of 'mob rule', the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", and Khundenceylestan Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere'. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Khundenceylestan's national animal is the Updog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Khundenceylestan is ranked 167,810^th in the world and 2,858^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 525.58 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
