7 Billion People! (5/31/21)

The Santa of The Greater Eastern Republic is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Eclogronio with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.101 billion Great Eastern Republicans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drewusalem. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Greater Eastern Republican economy, worth a remarkable 2,108 trillion NationStates dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 296,894 NationStates dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, Eclogronio's Twitcher account is typically used to share turtle memes rather than government policy, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, and Greater Eastern Republican scientists are mixing chewing tobacco with bacon flavouring in an attempt to craft the perfect male snack. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Greater Eastern Republic's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Eclogronionism.

The Greater Eastern Republic is ranked 233,414th in the world and 1,281st in Europe for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -37 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
