The Holy Empire of Holy Bussinesses is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 218 million Holy Bussinessmen enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 24.3%.
The very strong Holy Bussinessesian economy, worth 12.9 trillion Holy Coins a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,321 Holy Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.
Archaeological discoveries are often followed by mysterious hamster abductions, cancer rates amongst the richest in society are inexplicably on the rise, wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, and strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Holy Bussinesses's national animal is the Popes, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Holy Bussinesses is ranked 246,118th in the world and 68th in Byzantion for Largest Populations, with 218 million capita.
