Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Island of Kingdom of the isles is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jesus Harold Christ with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed population of 11.521 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Durdum. The average income tax rate is 96%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Automobile Manufacturing.

Jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses', heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kingdom of the isles's national animal is the griffin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the golden sovereign.

Kingdom of the isles is ranked 4th in Halo and 12,436th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 31 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
