Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Grand Duchy of Capt Jack Harkness is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning weevil population. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 726 million are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized government is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Law & Order and Healthcare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cardiff. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20%. A robust private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales industries.

Capt Jack Harkness has designated Cardiff as its capital city, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, and the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms. Crime is a problem. Capt Jack Harkness's national animal is the weevil, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the pound.

Capt Jack Harkness is ranked 22nd in NAZI EUROPE and 19,205th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
