The Republic of Bollesiatan is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, otherworldly petting zoo, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 6.244 billion Bollesiatanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of None. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Bollesiatanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,226 trillion Metric Tons a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 356,638 Metric Tons, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,322,635 per year while the poor average 3,435, a ratio of 967 to 1.
The deaf are perplexed when the weather report tells them that the wind will be "bringing some rain along the Nazi ghosts", claims adjusters are uselessly vague, jollity-related fatalities are on the increase, and political shows are fit for purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Bollesiatan's national animal is the Fart, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Bollesiatan is ranked 345,666th in the world and 16,469th in Balder for Highest Average Tax Rates, with -6.62 Effective Tax Rate.
