The Ziggy Stardust of David Bowie is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its public floggings, rampant corporate plagiarism, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.021 billion David Bowieans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.6%.

The frighteningly efficient David Bowiean economy, worth a remarkable 1,481 trillion changes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 123,201 changes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 372,388 per year while the poor average 31,736, a ratio of 11.7 to 1.

Slavers view "what did your last slave die of" as a request for a demonstration, newly-privatized lumberjacks are clearcutting the forest to meet demand, oddly simian-looking religious thugs beat up anyone who suggests humans are related to monkeys, and artists are pillars of society. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. David Bowie's national animal is the ziggy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

David Bowie is ranked 60,538^th in the world and 1^st in Brooklyn for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 11.73 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
