The Republic of Ivory Coast

“Union–Discipline–Travail”

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

The Republic of Ivory Coast is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.216 billion Ivorians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The strong Ivorian economy, worth 322 trillion West African CFA Francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 61,799 West African CFA Francs, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ivory Coast's national animal is the Elephant, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ivory Coast is ranked 88,150^th in the world and 42^nd in Africa for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 4,166.62 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
