Alblasserdam NLD

The Kingdom of Alblasserdam NLD is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, free-roaming dinosaurs, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.93 billion Alblasserdam NLDians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 67.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Alblasserdam NLDian economy, worth 378 trillion euros 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Information Technology. 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 an impressive 129,013 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, the same 2930 social media bloggers always loudly and immediately agree with Leader's every word on Twitcher, nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, and power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alblasserdam NLD's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Alblasserdam NLD is ranked 259,721st in the world and 486th in Aerospace for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.21 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
