The Nine Day Queendom of Lady Jane Grey

“Blessed is She who can keep Her Head”

The Nine Day Queendom of Lady Jane Grey is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 41.839 billion Tudors are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Lady Jane Grey economy, worth a remarkable 7,312 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 174,770 Pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 702,231 per year while the poor average 29,128, a ratio of 24.1 to 1.

Owning a tractor is widely regarded as an essential prerequisite to most government positions, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and loans are available for students from poor families. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Lady Jane Grey's national animal is the Badger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lady Jane Grey is ranked 20,975^th in the world and 2^nd in Imperial Britain for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,167.69 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
