Great Britain and Irelandia
Great Britain and Irelandia
The United Patriotic Kingdom of Great Britain and Irelandia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Tea IV with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.092 billion Great Britain and Irelandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City Of tea. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Great Britain and Irelandian economy, worth 121 trillion British pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,286 British pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', fire and brimstone sermons are accompanied by napalm and fragmentation bombs, and aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Britain and Irelandia's national animal is the Tea, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of the divine tea and holiness.
