The Pirate Court of Books Rule Supreme is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Captain Buck with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.265 billion Bookers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rosenbucht. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Supreme economy, worth 696 trillion Plunders a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,102 Plunders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The central government is trying to keep things flowing, there's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end, and retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Books Rule Supreme's national animal is the Polly, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Crabism.

Books Rule Supreme is ranked 201,072^nd in the world and 97^th in Realm of the Whispering Winds for Most Primitive, scoring -82.88 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
