“Once more into the Breach”

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

The Gunboat Diplomacy of HMS Sparrowhawk is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 28.32 billion Sailors are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The very strong a Sailor economy, worth 933 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 32,975 Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem. HMS Sparrowhawk's national animal is the Badger.

HMS Sparrowhawk is ranked 192,055^th in the world and 1^st in HMD Bermuda for Nicest Citizens, with 10.55 average smiles per day.
