The Republic of Bartustan is a tiny, economically powerful nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.
The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Social Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports industries.
Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Bartustan's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the guilder.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 36%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Trout Farming.

I've got an ulterior motive to this UN business - i'm also a member of a basketball website called 'ozhoops' - by installing me as the UN delegate you also are assisting with a hostile takeover of their 'nationstates' turf, and once we have control we can rename it Minardia or something similar and kick some heads! :D
I'm a dictator I tell you - a dictator GONE MAD!! :o
