The Democratic Republic of Ptakria is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Pablo Hosehead with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.972 billion Ptakrians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ptakrian economy, worth 466 trillion schnus a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 157,063 schnus, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Billions of schnus are being blown on orbital weapons development, calisthenics is a well-known tax-dodging technique, no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, and Ptakria City Preparatory School for the Exceedingly Wealthy's basketball team is having a few off-years. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ptakria's national animal is the ladybug, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secular Humanism.
Ptakria is ranked 2,443rd in the world and 25th in Europeia for Nicest Citizens, with 67.21 average smiles per day.
