Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Commonwealth of Isles of Nixon is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 10.592 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. The average income tax rate is 78%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Automobile Manufacturing.

Politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, businesses have become paranoid as waves of lawsuits sweep the nation, and Isles of Nixon Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isles of Nixon's national animal is the vulture, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the taco.

Isles of Nixon is ranked 578th in 10000 Islands and 32,366th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
