Location: The Commonwealth of Crowns

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Kingdom of British Asian Colony is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King William with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 6.54 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Education and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Oxford. The average income tax rate is 91%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

British Asian Colony's educational system is the envy of many and regarded as a pinnacle of academic achievement, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, nursing mothers are often arrested for indecent exposure, and all judiciary cases are decided in the court of public opinion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. British Asian Colony's national animal is the Colonial Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the Colonial Pound.

British Asian Colony is ranked 40th in The Commonwealth of Crowns and 97,347th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
