The Republic of Photaduwe is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning dove population. The hard-working, democratic population of 6.806 billion Photaduweans enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.
The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.
The very strong Photaduwean economy, worth 390 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 57,363 bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 185,392 per year while the poor average 13,413, a ratio of 13.8 to 1.
Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Photaduwe's national animal is the dove.
Photaduwe is ranked 12,488th in the world and 1st in The Southeast Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 8,309.78 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
