Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Herd of Reindeer is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 1.311 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government concentrates mainly on Religion & Spirituality, although Commerce and Social Welfare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 26%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, followed by Woodchip Exports and Arms Manufacturing.

Crime is a problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Reindeer's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Euro.

Reindeer is ranked 37th in South Figaro and 27,760th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -10 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
