The Empire of Bastardonia
"Though the bastard may rise high, his teeth can be cold"

Location: The North Pacific
The Empire of Bastardonia is a tiny, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Defence and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 16%. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, followed by Woodchip Exports and Information Technology.

Crime is moderate. Bastardonia's national animal is the tuatara and its currency is the blingo.
