The Etat Independant of Belgian congo is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Leopold II with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, rampant corporate plagiarism, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 31.161 billion Belgian congoans 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 minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leopoldville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Belgian congoan economy, worth a remarkable 5,996 trillion francs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 192,436 francs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,080,036 per year while the poor average 16,977, a ratio of 63.6 to 1.
Major polluting industries have painted a lot of their machines green to give an impression of caring about the environment, open-casket funerals are avoided at all cost, many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators, and cheering flag-waving citizens don't like to think too hard about politics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Belgian congo's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Belgian congo is ranked 234,171st in the world and 7,151st in Balder for Most Stationary, with 23.22899207788 days.
