The Republic of East Riding of Yorkshire is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.175 billion East Riding of Yorkshireans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.
The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.3%.
The thriving East Riding of Yorkshirean economy, worth 433 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 60,439 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 201,164 per year while the poor average 13,531, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.
Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. East Riding of Yorkshire's national animal is the tea, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
East Riding of Yorkshire is ranked 239,073rd in the world and 6,277th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.73 law-abiding acts per hour.
