The Freeboota Fleet of Waaagh Bizmork is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Admrul Bizmork with an iron fist, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.717 billion Bizmork's Boyzes are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gorkzilla. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.5%.
The all-consuming Waaagh Bizmorkian economy, worth 209 trillion Loots a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 121,774 Loots, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 384,885 per year while the poor average 29,417, a ratio of 13.1 to 1.
Major cities are suffering under water rationing, anti-vacs campaigners claim the government is inserting weird devices into their bodies, Bizmork's Boyzes have replaced bears in a popular idiom, and companies are literally blowing their competition out of the water. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Waaagh Bizmork's national animal is the Squig, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Gorka Morka.
Waaagh Bizmork is ranked 101,053rd in the world and 45th in Forest for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 3,776.56 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
