The Empire of The Southern Dependencies is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 323 million Falklanders have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Stanley. The average income tax rate is 56.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The a falklander economy, worth 16.9 trillion Falkland pounds a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 52,173 Falkland pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, and acute politicians deride opposition members for being obtuse. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Southern Dependencies's national animal is the Lamb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Southern Dependencies is ranked 65,952^nd in the world and 2,033^rd in The East Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 56.17 Effective Tax Rate.
