The Republic of Netherlan is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 257 million Netherlanians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 32.5%.
The Netherlanian economy, worth 14.6 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,934 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.
The importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, it is illegal to have the wrong clock time showing on your microwave oven, Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Netherlan, and destitute athletes are forced to train in the street. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Netherlan's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Netherlan is ranked 215,966th in the world and 1,110th in Europe for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -4.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
