The Republic of Battitude is a large, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning stardust population. The hard-working population of 130 million Battitudeans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 20.7%.
The Battitudean economy, worth 5.43 trillion moonlarks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 41,778 moonlarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Battitude's national animal is the stardust.
Battitude is ranked 288,740th in the world and 92nd in One in a Million for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,721.58 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
