The Pink Holy of Fungoose is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.062 billion Fungoosians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Defense also on the agenda, while Environment and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Fungoosian economy, worth a remarkable 2,633 trillion Brains 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, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 290,614 Brains, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 849,001 per year while the poor average 78,557, a ratio of 10.8 to 1.
Fan-made edits of old films have seen a sudden jump in quality, mournful opera fans place bouquets of roses at a 3000 capacity parking lot, the "give and take" of international diplomacy often happens at gunpoint, and people can often be seen driving to work in war-surplus tanks. 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. Fungoose's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Athyism.
Fungoose is ranked 25,773rd in the world and 1,369th in Osiris for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,572.51 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
