The Republic of Reborn Bulgaria is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Zhivkov II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.286 billion Reborn Bulgarians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zhivkovia. The average income tax rate is 82.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Reborn Bulgarian economy, worth 342 trillion Lews a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 104,209 Lews, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, bilingual Reborn Bulgarians are viewed with suspicion, the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, and the government has declared its commitment to multilateralism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reborn Bulgaria's national animal is the Lion.

Reborn Bulgaria is ranked 10,155^th in the world and 284^th in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 120.88 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
