The Republiek of Nederlandt is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Jeroen Smuts with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.015 billion Dutch are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amsterdam. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.
The very strong Dutch economy, worth 435 trillion Guldens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 62,083 Guldens, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 192,820 per year while the poor average 15,381, a ratio of 12.5 to 1.
The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, eminent domain has been abolished, the nation leads Balder in per capita stalking, and Jeroen Smuts has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw. Crime is moderate. Nederlandt's national animal is the Lion.
Nederlandt is ranked 130,883rd in the world and 6,468th in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 531.68 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
