“Representative of North East Somerset”

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

The Type 23 Frigate of HMS Somerset is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 33.279 billion HMS Somersetians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Welfare, with Environment, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Education receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 17.2%.

The very strong HMS Somersetian economy, worth a remarkable 1,200 trillion Sovereigns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 36,067 Sovereigns, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, the government is avowedly atheist, and corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. HMS Somerset's national animal is the Pheasant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

HMS Somerset is ranked 183,161^st in the world and 2^nd in CARD for Safest, scoring 52.9 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
