OverviewFactbookPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Citizen's Republic of New Islington is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Dylan Stark with an even hand, and remarkable for its lack of airports, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.81 billion Islingtonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hower City. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Islingtonian economy, worth 725 trillion Florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 150,865 Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A five-year-old and a convicted terrorist can sit alongside one another in jury service, a death threat has replaced 'hello' as an official greeting in the nation, political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, and sharing vacation pictures requires written consent from the entire beach resort. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Islington's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Folk Religion.

New Islington is ranked 71,112th in the world and 279th in Europeia for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 71.33 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
