The Eshia of Bubblamania is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, enslaved workforce, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.512 billion Bubblamanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.8%.
The powerhouse Bubblamanian economy, worth 547 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Gambling, Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 99,332 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 288,929 per year while the poor average 27,015, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.
A valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales', the government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption, the government has little issue with allowing its citizens to languish in foreign jails, and dynamite sales and concert audiences are booming. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Bubblamania's national animal is the owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Bubblamania is ranked 77,307th in the world and 122nd in Panam for Nicest Citizens, with 15.51 average smiles per day.
