Defending Beedrill

Population5.993 billion

The Poison Bee Pokemon of Defending Beedrill is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 5.993 billion Beedrills are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Welfare, and Industry are also considered important, while Environment and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.5%.

The powerhouse Beedrill economy, worth 340 trillion Pokedollars a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,850 Pokedollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 237,707 per year while the poor average 8,862, a ratio of 26.8 to 1.

Women who can do math in their head are burned for witchcraft, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, the nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned, and parents are relieved they no longer need to help with their kids' algebra homework. Crime is a major problem. Defending Beedrill's national animal is the Beedrill, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Defending Beedrill is ranked 86,169th in the world and 971st in Artificial Solar System for Most Patriotic, with 21.2 flags saluted per person per day.
