The Republic of Bhadeshistan is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its national health service, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 466 million Indians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Delhi. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Bhadeshistanian economy, worth 68.9 trillion Rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 147,914 Rupees, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Tabloids publicly shun nurses for not calling home on the weekends, clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions, an increasing number of citizens believe the world is flat, and welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Bhadeshistan's national animal is the Royal Bengal Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bhadeshistan is ranked 102,100^th in the world and 2,538^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 14.85 flags saluted per person per day.
