The Dominion of New Leicestershire is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, smutty television, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 35.767 billion New Leicestershireans 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.3%.
The frighteningly efficient New Leicestershirean economy, worth a remarkable 4,808 trillion NL Pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 134,443 NL Pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 383,143 per year while the poor average 37,624, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.
Guns are banned, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, inheritance tax has recently been abolished, and school uniforms are compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. New Leicestershire's national animal is the Osprey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
New Leicestershire is ranked 123,655th in the world and 3rd in Zhaucauozian Friendship for Safest, scoring 72.59 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
