Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Royal Regiment of The Coldstream Guards is a colossal, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 9.535 billion enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Cheese Exports, Retail, and Gambling industries.

Crime is a problem. The Coldstream Guards's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the pound.

The Coldstream Guards is ranked 1st in British Empire and 50,644th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -12 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
