Baron Von William Status [As of 04/23/14]

The Prodigious Democratic Empire of Baron Von William is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Baron Von William with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate population of 899 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although the Environment and Social Welfare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The City of Light. The average income tax rate is 71%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Soda Sales.

Pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government, the lowest age at which one can marry has been recently lowered to 12, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, and the government is seen to favor Catholics. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baron Von William's national animal is the Imperial Pocket Mouse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Emerall.

Baron Von William is ranked 12th in Ozymandium and 107,047th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -4 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
