The Federative Commonwealths of Israel and the Sinai is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Yael HaKohen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.823 billion Israelis 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jerusalem. The average income tax rate is 56.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Israeli economy, worth 140 trillion Federal shekels a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,122 Federal shekels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Jerusalem Times is sold out, group hugs break out during floor votes, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Israel and the Sinai's national animal is the Sinai rosefinch, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Judaism.
Israel and the Sinai is ranked 280,628th in the world and 10,844th in Lazarus for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 1.34 missed references per hour.
