The Armed Republic of Fistenberg "The God fist prevails with hardness"

UN Category: Father Knows Best State. Civil Rights: Some. Economy: Reasonable. Political Freedoms: Rare.

Location: the West Pacific. The Protectorate of Fistenberg is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 29 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Healthcare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 32%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Basket Weaving.

Citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', all forms of advertising are banned, organ donation rates have hit a new low, and a crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun. Crime is moderate. Fistenberg's national animal is the stone lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the fist.

Fistenberg is ranked 2320th in the region and 50,751st in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments.
