Gazoland 2

Population221 million

CurrencyBintar
AnimalMolpup

The Republic of Gazoland 2 is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its public floggings, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 221 million Gazolanders are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 41.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Gazolandian economy, worth 12.6 trillion Bintars a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,872 Bintars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents often ask to see a credit report before lending money to their own children, schoolkids say that the air doesn't taste like wee-wee any more, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, and concussed Molpupball players cannot remember their lineup position. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gazoland 2's national animal is the Molpup, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Gazoland 2 is ranked 105,219th in the world and 126th in Saint Osmund for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 820.02 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
