The Ziggy Stardust of David Bowie is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.477 billion David Bowieans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 47.1%.

The frighteningly efficient David Bowiean economy, worth a remarkable 1,651 trillion changes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 132,384 changes, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, equality looks curiously unequal, and preservative-laden David Bowiean cheeses will be as edible when archaeologists dig them up next millennium. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. David Bowie's national animal is the ziggy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

David Bowie is ranked 257,259^th in the world and 5^th in Brooklyn for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -4.86 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
