The Everlasting Search of Pursuit of Happiness is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 21.529 billion Bhutanese are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 88.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Bhutanese economy, worth a remarkable 1,501 trillion ngultrums a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Tourism industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 69,761 ngultrums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nation is completely gun-free, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, renewable energy projects have ground to a halt, and young men in tiny bikinis draw neither comment nor stares on the morning commute. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pursuit of Happiness's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Pursuit of Happiness is ranked 98,025th in the world and 4th in Bhutan for Most Stationary, with 448.73549058688 days.
