The Kingdom of Heathcliff Earnshaw is a large, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 56 million Heathcliff Earnshawians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 42.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The basket case Heathcliff Earnshawian economy, worth 655 billion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 11,708 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nation's gigantic air force is both respected and feared, judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, and environmental officials dismiss uncontrolled wildfires burning down major cities as nature taking its course. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heathcliff Earnshaw's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
