Boommaya
The United States of Boommaya is a small, pleasant nation, notable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 32 million Boommayans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Industry aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.
The strong Boommayan economy, worth 1.88 trillion Boomer dollers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is 58,597 Boomer dollers, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.
Gambling facilities are being turned into Boomer habitats, army rations are served on silver platters, sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, and the tightness of border controls in Boommaya leave a little to be desired. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Boommaya's national animal is the Boomer.
Boommaya is ranked 175,699th in the world and 40th in Nations of Saint Joan of Arc for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring -3.29 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
