The Commonwealth of British Isles and France is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 361 million Franglaises are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.9%.
The powerhouse Franglais economy, worth 28.0 trillion pound sterlings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 77,469 pound sterlings, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 431,174 per year while the poor average 6,963, a ratio of 61.9 to 1.
Criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, it is against the rules of boxing to hit above or below the belt, terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, and the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. British Isles and France's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
