The United Kingdom of The Older Isles is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-working, democratic population of 671 million Elders 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.
The very strong Elderly economy, worth 52.8 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 78,649 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.
Street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, the nation is currently revamping its entire education system, and conversion therapy coupons are a popular present for coming of age ceremonies. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. The Older Isles's national animal is the bison, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
The Older Isles is ranked 49,572nd in the world and 2nd in The Chancery for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 214,216 Standard Monetary Units.
