The Kingdom of Haaksbergen NLD is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.941 billion Haaksbergen 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 58.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Haaksbergen NLDian economy, worth 396 trillion euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,859 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words', returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, and corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Haaksbergen NLD's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Haaksbergen NLD is ranked 81,504th in the world and 169th in Aerospace for Highest Food Quality, scoring 26.65 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
