Location: Allied States of EuroIslanders

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Former Cuban Delegate of Isla Pena is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 19.213 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 91%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government is avowedly atheist, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, and citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months. Crime is totally unknown. Isla Pena's national animal is the Utahraptor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Cubanate.

Isla Pena is ranked 10th in Allied States of EuroIslanders and 127,341st in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -8 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
