The Pirate Republic of New Dunmore is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Captain Denver 'Longbeard' Hale with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.413 billion New Dunmoreans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Healthcare, Education, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Morgan's Cove. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.9%.
The very strong New Dunmorean economy, worth 349 trillion Sterlings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 54,550 Sterlings, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 279,192 per year while the poor average 5,854, a ratio of 47.7 to 1.
War criminals are given full state funerals, court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and Poseidon's Code has been named as New Dunmore's national religion. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. New Dunmore's national animal is the Dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Poseidon's Code.
New Dunmore is ranked 286,309th in the world and 10,986th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 37.73 law-abiding acts per hour.
