The Republic of IE-19 is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning falcon population. The hard-working population of 519 million IE-19ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 30.3%.
The IE-19ian economy, worth 17.7 trillion guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 34,164 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IE-19's national animal is the falcon.
IE-19 is ranked 270,822nd in the world and 1st in Ishtar Gate for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.07 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
