The Republic of The Bulgarian Balkans is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Vasil Levski with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 41.906 billion Bulgarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varna. The average income tax rate is 88.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Bulgarian economy, worth a remarkable 6,714 trillion rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 160,227 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
A handful of megacorporations own every "craft brewery" in the nation, this summer's chart-toppers sound almost the same as last year's, visiting the best Bulgarian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, and if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it... Bulgarian satellites can detect it. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Bulgarian Balkans's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is atheism.
The Bulgarian Balkans is ranked 291,617th in the world and 34th in USSR for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -40.27 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
