Voorst NLD

The Kingdom of Voorst NLD is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.979 billion Voorst 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Voorst NLDian economy, worth 384 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,187 euros, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

Punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, copies of the constitution are used as toilet paper, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, and the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Voorst NLD's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Voorst NLD is ranked 45,426th in the world and 400th in Aerospace for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,245.51 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
