Location: the Rejected Realms

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Krav Maga Masters of Israel Territories is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed population of 6.795 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 Defence, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 71%. 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 extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, the government pours millions of Sheqels into rehabilitation programs annually, army rations are served on silver platters, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Israel Territories's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Sheqel.

Israel Territories is ranked 827th in the Rejected Realms and 56,371st in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -3 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
