The Crown Dependency of The Rupert Islands is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by His Excellency Sir John Millett CVO GCMG with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 17.148 billion Colonists are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Elizabeth. The average income tax rate is 17.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Colonist economy, worth a remarkable 2,401 trillion Rupert Islands Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 140,030 Rupert Islands Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
The arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, when flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", paranoid museum guards keep a lookout for any animated displays attempting to escape the premises after dark, and Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Rupert Islands's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of England.
The Rupert Islands is ranked 109,102nd in the world and 1,441st in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 367.25676495552 days.
