Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Fiefdom of Pleasures Island is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.823 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with the Environment, although Law & Order and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pleasures Island City. The average income tax rate is 95%. 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.

People are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer, the government is cracking down on subversive groups, political activists are routinely executed, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pleasures Island's national animal is the human, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the psi.

Pleasures Island is ranked 50th in the Pacific and 2,430th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 15 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
