The Republic of Nesopotamia is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.769 billion Nesopotamians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 16.4%.
The powerhouse Nesopotamian economy, worth 571 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 99,101 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.
