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

The Guild Republic of Polder Eiland is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.323 billion Polder Eilandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of De Haven. The average income tax rate is 8.0%.

The Polder Eilandian economy, worth 71.0 trillion Guilders a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Trout Farming. Average income is 53,695 Guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Polder Eiland has designated De Haven as its capital city. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Polder Eiland's national animal is the Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Polder Eiland is ranked 81,124^th in the world and 92^nd in Anteria for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 4.3 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
