The Republic of Boursmond is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 20 million Boursmondians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 47.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The struggling Boursmondian economy, worth 434 billion Bours a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 21,742 Bours, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Religious education is a new government priority, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, and extreme political groups are outlawed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boursmond's national animal is the Bourd, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Boursmond is ranked 246,898th in the world and 440th in Starlight for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.59 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
