The Galaxy-Wide Broadcast of Big Shot is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, otherworldly petting zoo, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 7.683 billion Big Shotians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The tiny, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Big Shotian economy, worth 914 trillion Woolongs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 119,006 Woolongs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 762,600 per year while the poor average 7,578, a ratio of 100 to 1.
Law schools are hurrying to teach the "prank defense" to their students, jury duty means front row seats to a spectacular show, orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, and toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Big Shot's national animal is the Corgi, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Big Shot is ranked 15,467th in the world and 324th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 9,092.25 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
