Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Field Marshal of Duke of Wellington is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning Lion population. Its hard-nosed population of 730 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Arms Manufacturing.

The government is reining in public spending and referenda are banned by law and the Parliament has absolute control of the legislative process. Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Duke of Wellington's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Pound.

Duke of Wellington is ranked 1st in Lemon Drop Kid and 53,948th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 0 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
