The United Kingdom of Niemskwifrive is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its lack of airports, anti-smoking policies, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 704 million Niemskwifriveans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The tiny, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.
The thriving Niemskwifrivean economy, worth 50.5 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,677 lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 217,469 per year while the poor average 18,365, a ratio of 11.8 to 1.
Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, Niemskwifrivean doors require a Ph.D. to open, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, and atheists and evolutionary biologists are fleeing the country like rats from a sinking ship. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Niemskwifrive's national animal is the elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Niemskwifrive is ranked 77,596th in the world and 1,958th in Lazarus for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,890.43 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
