The Commonwealth of The Fallenmark Islands is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 6.676 billion Valhallans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.
The enormous, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Public Transport, and Welfare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marylebone. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.4%.
The thriving Valhallan economy, worth 361 trillion Sols a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 54,145 Sols, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 176,270 per year while the poor average 12,526, a ratio of 14.1 to 1.
Vile black smog from coal power plants has enveloped several major urban centres, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, and airport security is provided by private companies. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Fallenmark Islands's national animal is the Slate Heron, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
The Fallenmark Islands is ranked 170,454th in the world and 57th in Rushmore for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
