Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Dominion of -Newfoundland- is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.208 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Social Welfare, and Defence. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35%. A substantial private sector is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, followed by Information Technology and Book Publishing.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Newfoundland-'s national animal is the Cod, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Newfoundland Dollar.

-Newfoundland- is ranked 10th in EU Overseas Territories and 47,027th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
