The New Republic of Bulshkaav is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lady Cecilya Blitzenstaat with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 12.274 billion Skaavs have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volengrad. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Skaavic economy, worth a remarkable 1,657 trillion Skaavmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 135,063 Skaavmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Third world countries are rich in "I Love Volengrad" t-shirts, adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives, weapons are only sold to foreign governments that are legitimate enough to not bounce the cheque, and ordinary soldiers trade rumors about the top secret "Death From Above" project. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bulshkaav's national animal is the Skaavic Platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The Church of The Drowned Saint.
Bulshkaav is ranked 113,749th in the world and 3rd in The Confederation of Skaavic States for Most Stationary, with 343.1659956514 days.
