“Strength through unity”

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

The People's Republic of Nurglestan is a huge, safe nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 269 million Nurglestanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Nurglestanian economy, worth 5.54 trillion Nurglings 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 20,586 Nurglings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, sleazy politicians exploit the Parliamentary Code of Conduct to purge their rivals, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, and folk are absolutely certain that you can never be absolutely certain. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nurglestan's national animal is the Frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nurglestan is ranked 55,897^th in the world and 517^th in the West Pacific for Largest Governments, scoring 21.4 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
