The Commonwealth of Penge

“Einheit, Freiheit, Sicherheit”

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

The Commonwealth of Penge is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Prime Minister with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 8.768 billion Pengians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government prioritizes Healthcare, with Education, Defense, and Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Penge. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Pengean economy, worth 492 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,129 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired, monocled merchants with funny accents are applying for Pengean citizenship in droves, all footpaths have tollbooths, and movie references are legally admissible in court. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Penge's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Penge is ranked 59,035^th in the world and 151^st in United Kingdom for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.99 law-abiding acts per hour.
