Gombrowicz

The Republic of Gombrowicz is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ritual sacrifices, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed population of 3.116 billion Gombrowiczians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gombrowiczian economy, worth 397 trillion gębas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 127,565 gębas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers, the last thing Gombrowiczian soldiers hear before charging into battle is a preacher trying to convert them, the government is denying reports that criminals injected with experimental drugs have turned into monstrous supervillains, and diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gombrowicz's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gombrowicz is ranked 38,474th in the world and 8th in Poland for Highest Average Incomes, with 127,565.77 Standard Monetary Units.
