Pablo65

The Republic of Pablo65 is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 975 million Pablo65ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.2%.

The powerhouse Pablo65ian economy, worth 82.9 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 84,992 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 269,054 per year while the poor average 20,484, a ratio of 13.1 to 1.

There's a bright dawn ahead for Pablo65, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, the election for Leader's office's janitor is heating up, and women who can do math in their head are burned for witchcraft. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pablo65's national animal is the tiger.

Pablo65 is ranked 292,568th in the world and 621st in Pablo for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 172.4 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
