Location: The Heartland

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Disputed Territories of Indecision is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Bama O'Romney with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.189 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although the Environment and Public Transport are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 63%, and even higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Tourism and Pizza Delivery.

The new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, the welfare administration’s new sweeping authority has forced the poor and needy to shop from pre-approved grocery lists, and CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options. Crime is totally unknown. Indecision's national animal is the pushmi-pullyu or dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the gold or silver coin.

Indecision is ranked 33rd in The Heartland and 37,897th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
