“Mission Accomplished”

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

The Enlightened Leader of Men Gogs is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Peter Butedgedge with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, democratic population of 10.522 billion Men Gogsians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Public Transport, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utolia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The very strong Men Gogsian economy, worth 633 trillion rupees a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 60,192 rupees, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Peter Butedgedge has just been declared ruler of Men Gogs in an international press conference, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, and public enemies often walk home with spotless garments and crime records. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Men Gogs's national animal is the kiwi, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is No Labels.

Men Gogs is ranked 158,785^th in the world and 2^nd in Libertarian Lands for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 503.6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
