The Tropical Paradise of One Small Island is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Pirate Queen Kalani T'ai with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, keen interest in outer space, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.015 billion Islanders are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Darkwater. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Islandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,619 trillion Sand Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 147,043 Sand Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 586,713 per year while the poor average 24,791, a ratio of 23.7 to 1.
The religious lobby has the power of veto over health initiatives, the government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, state media features lively debates such as whether pineapple on pizza is an acceptable topping, and people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. One Small Island's national animal is the Seagull, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Piracy.
One Small Island is ranked 180,352nd in the world and 8th in Warzone Sandbox for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 45.11 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
