The Kingdom of Nambutu is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Bayele III with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 21.267 billion Nambutans 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mobuto. The average income tax rate is 34.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Nambutan economy, worth a remarkable 3,074 trillion afriqs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 144,552 afriqs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
The unofficial motto of the nation's intelligence agency is "in Bont we trust", it's not only teenagers who mess around with fake IDs, the richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, and when shaking hands with foreign leaders King Bayele III wears an armoured gauntlet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nambutu's national animal is the elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is ancestor worship.
Nambutu is ranked 8,187th in the world and 9th in Africa for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 94,103.71 Standard Monetary Units.
