The Holy Red Empire of Bastanku is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Big D with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.17 billion Bastankuans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bastana. The average income tax rate is 3.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Bastankuan economy, worth a remarkable 5,540 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 239,144 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.
Government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, and government spending has hit an all-time low. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bastanku's national animal is the Lynx, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Evangelical Wiccan Scientists.
Bastanku is ranked 55,131st in the world and 38th in United Kingdom for Most Stationary, with 797.240114766 days.
