The Community of Associated Peoples of West Yorkshire is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.122 billion Associated West Yorkshireans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 80.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient West Yorkshirean-Associated economy, worth 124 trillion Pabloes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,638 Pabloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, the nation is so apathetic that Associated West Yorkshireans can barely find the energy to bring new issues to the government, politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems, and prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Associated Peoples of West Yorkshire's national animal is the Peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Associated Peoples of West Yorkshire is ranked 266,596th in the world and 757th in Concord for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -4.56 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
