The Republic of The Polar Express is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 701 million Polar Expressians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 7.7%.
The Polar Expressian economy, worth 35.1 trillion Engines a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 50,041 Engines, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. The Polar Express's national animal is the Conductor, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
The Polar Express is ranked 195,717th in the world and 9,057th in Balder for Highest Poor Incomes, with 20,165.96 Standard Monetary Units.
