United Nations Of The Islands

The Kingdom of United Nations Of The Islands is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, national health service, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.334 billion United Nations Of The Islandsians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.8%.

The frighteningly efficient United Nations Of The Islandsian economy, worth 142 trillion Pixes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 106,993 Pixes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 307,865 per year while the poor average 29,543, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Board shorts have replaced board rooms, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, many friends and relatives of Leader have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, and dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Nations Of The Islands's national animal is the Rex, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

United Nations Of The Islands is ranked 188,777th in the world and 4,731st in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 51.87 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
