The Kingdom of Voerendaal NLD is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.944 billion Voerendaal NLDians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Voerendaal NLDian economy, worth 334 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 113,771 euros, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.
Noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, Moby Dick can only be sold by pornographers, and it is popularly believed that "cheese every day keeps disaster away". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Voerendaal NLD's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Voerendaal NLD is ranked 32,019th in the world and 408th in Aerospace for Most Corrupt Governments, with 67.78 kickbacks per hour.
