Nissewaard NLD

Population2.969 billion

The Kingdom of Nissewaard NLD is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, parental licensing program, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.969 billion Nissewaard NLDians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nissewaard NLDian economy, worth 425 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,208 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Helicopter parenting is on the rise, black tea is only available on the black market, mountain rescuers refer to their new gear as the 'watchamacallits' and 'thingymabobs', and there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nissewaard NLD's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nissewaard NLD is ranked 78,938th in the world and 149th in Aerospace for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 370.6 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
