The Pirate-Bishopric of Rastafarianastan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Comodore-Bishop Nigel Ferringsworth with an even hand, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, frequent executions, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The compassionate, devout population of 6.76 billion Rastafarians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Kingston. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Rastafarian economy, worth 556 trillion Shillings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 82,267 Shillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests, historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism, the hills are alive with the smell of burning flesh, and criminals are put to death while cuddling their favourite teddy bear. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rastafarianastan's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Rastafari.
Rastafarianastan is ranked 277,007th in the world and 56th in Realm of the Whispering Winds for Most Stationary, with 7.84307136932 days.
