“Lick it, good”

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

The Free Land of RustyNails is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and hatred of cheese. The democratic population of 10.291 billion RustyNailsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government prioritizes Healthcare, although Education, Environment, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong RustyNailsian economy, worth 565 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,912 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, police drones follow every suspected Peeping Tom, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RustyNails's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

RustyNails is ranked 136,818^th in the world and 4^th in Mariner Trench for Most Patriotic, with 11.4 flags saluted per person per day.
