The United Nations of New Giggles Town is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Rawb with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.189 billion New Giggles Townians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Final Talon. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient New Giggles Townian economy, worth 909 trillion Gold coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 126,524 Gold coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, New Giggles Townians refer to transgender people with insults instead of pronouns, science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, and weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Giggles Town's national animal is the Kolbold, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hinduism.
New Giggles Town is ranked 266,723rd in the world and 9,130th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 12.1307561252 days.
