The Colony of Bismarck-Archipel is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 16.709 billion Bismarck-Archipelians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.
The very strong Bismarck-Archipelian economy, worth a remarkable 1,140 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 68,273 Marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 227,239 per year while the poor average 15,285, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.
Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Bismarck-Archipel's national animal is the Neuguinea Adler, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Bismarck-Archipel is ranked 189,088th in the world and 1st in Bismarck Archipel for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.67 law-abiding acts per hour.
