Bash Da Fash

The Republic of Bash Da Fash is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.04 billion Bash Da Fashians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Bash Da Fashian economy, worth 297 trillion baht a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,761 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Comatose jurors are the defense's favorite, every workday begins with group therapy, police conduct weekly raids looking for contraband cheeseburgers, and the official Bash Da Fashian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bash Da Fash's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bash Da Fash is ranked 55,405th in the world and 1st in The TLA for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,826.22 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
