The Free Mind of Huang Po is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 22.81 billion Huang Poans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 56.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Huang Poan economy, worth 796 trillion Dubloons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,909 Dubloons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Huang Po's national animal is the Dragonfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Huang Po is ranked 67,772^nd in the world and 2^nd in Zen Buddhism for Most Beautiful Environments, with 619.88 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
