The Republic of A Means To An End is a huge, genial nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate population of 211 million Means To An Endians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The tiny government is primarily concerned with Healthcare, with Administration, Welfare, and Defense also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 9.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Means To An Endian economy, worth 9.28 trillion baht a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,961 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, and escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. A Means To An End's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
A Means To An End is ranked 79,669th in the world and 1st in What on earth is this13 for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,579.57 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
