Bixite Junimos

The Union of Bixite Junimos is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, free-roaming dinosaurs, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, devout population of 7.732 billion Bixite Junimosians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.0%.

The very strong Bixite Junimosian economy, worth 691 trillion guilders 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. 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 89,415 guilders, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government denies any involvement in the release of the Hot Load computer virus, punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, pregnant hitchhikers with signs requesting rides to "competent care" are a common sight on Bixite Junimosian roads, and families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bixite Junimos's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Bixite Junimos is ranked 209,283rd in the world and 2nd in The Third Dre Kuki Union for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 837.13 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
