The State of Points South

“God Save the Queen”

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

The State of Points South is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.832 billion Points Southians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong Points Southian economy, worth a remarkable 1,032 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 45,203 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 307,329 per year while the poor average 2,428, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, all tariffs have been abolished, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Points South's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Points South is ranked 263,260^th in the world and 3^rd in Dili for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 391.86 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
