The Principality of Elba and Monaco

“At the King's service”

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

The Principality of Elba and Monaco is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 600 million Elba and Monacoans 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, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Spirituality, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.2%.

The thriving Elba and Monacoan economy, worth 45.9 trillion Polos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 76,430 Polos, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 513,372 per year while the poor average 4,258, a ratio of 120 to 1.

Invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, the government seizes all major gold finds, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, and the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli. Crime is moderate. Elba and Monaco's national animal is the Caesarian Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Elba and Monaco is ranked 287,986^th in the world and 35^th in Free United States for Nicest Citizens, with 1.69 average smiles per day.
