The Republic of Bhadeshistan is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, anti-smoking policies, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 380 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 22.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Bhadeshistanian economy, worth 54.1 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 142,252 Rupees, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,265,516 per year while the poor average 2,170, a ratio of 583 to 1.

Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, citizens buy season tickets on a 20-year payment plan, and children wondering what happens to pets after they die are shown where the compost heap is. 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 18,984^th in the world and 476^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,295.95 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
