The Banana Republic of Truskawkoland

“GLORY TO STRAWBERRY REPUBLIC”

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

The Banana Republic of Truskawkoland is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Great Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 7.242 billion Truskawkowians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bananowo. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Truskawkolandian economy, worth 841 trillion strawberries a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,264 strawberries, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Truskawkoland's national animal is the gold snail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Football.

Truskawkoland is ranked 7,631^st in the world and 225^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,863.13 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
