The Kingdom of Da Netherlands is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Willem-Alexander with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The compassionate, devout population of 5.923 billion Dutch 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amsterdam. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Dutch economy, worth a remarkable 1,104 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 186,466 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Military instructors tire of being asked for another bedtime story by seven-year-old conscripts, waste is frequently shipped to other countries, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and King Willem-Alexander is quite hard to get a hold of. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Da Netherlands's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tulipism.
Da Netherlands is ranked 137,165th in the world and 58th in Hive for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,152.19 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
