The Kingdom of Beekdaelen NLD is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, ritual sacrifices, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 2.945 billion Beekdaelen NLDians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Beekdaelen NLDian economy, worth 432 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. 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 146,885 euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 441,978 per year while the poor average 38,081, a ratio of 11.6 to 1.
Employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired, the nation's faithful often say there is a higher power watching over them, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, and in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beekdaelen NLD's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Beekdaelen NLD is ranked 260,035th in the world and 487th in Aerospace for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.19 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
