Location: The East Pacific

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Democratic Republic of Napoleanish is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. Its compassionate population of 1.18 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, Education, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baranparte. The average income tax rate is 63%, and even higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Arms Manufacturing.

The government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, Members of Parliament operate under a PAYE scheme, the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, and strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Napoleanish's national animal is the Mouse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Aurum.

Napoleanish is ranked 3,780th in The East Pacific and 85,404th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
