Nation/Nibiru Republic

The Republic of Nibiru Republic is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 755 million Nibirans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night. The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CNT-FAI City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%. The thriving Nibiran economy, worth 77.3 trillion Bitcoins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 102,349 Bitcoins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 597,135 per year while the poor average 8,260, a ratio of 72.3 to 1. Farm turkeys are given high doses of antidepressants to take their minds off the holiday season, homeless people are periodically found dead upon altars to assorted deities, one-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses, and university graduates and new home-owners toil in labour camps to work off their debts. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Nibiru Republic's national animal is the Nibiruan T-Rex, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation. Nibiru Republic is ranked 8,867th in the world and 4th in Axis of Storms for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 24,263.64 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
