The Kingdom of Cranendonck NLD is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 2.974 billion Cranendonck NLDians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Cranendonck NLDian economy, worth 449 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 151,302 euros, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 878,657 per year while the poor average 12,345, a ratio of 71.2 to 1.
Oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds, expats return home to a government devoid of social and environmental agencies, dreams of entering the Super League have been relegated to the history books, and the Cranendonck NLDian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cranendonck NLD's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Cranendonck NLD is ranked 212,938th in the world and 591st in Aerospace for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -4.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
