Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Cote d Ivoire is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.164 billion Ivorians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.1%.

The strong Ivorian economy, worth 238 trillion West African CFA francs a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 46,090 West African CFA francs, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cote d Ivoire's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cote d Ivoire is ranked 224,193^rd in the world and 138^th in Africa for Most Pacifist, with 37.77 cheeks turned per day.
