The Republic of Pontbridge

“An island in a sea of oppression”

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

The Republic of Pontbridge is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Stylesjl with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, vat-grown people, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 31.512 billion Pontbridgers hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pontbridge. The average income tax rate is 50.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pontbridger economy, worth an astonishing 15,389 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 488,368 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, kindergartners love the free balloons that their schools give them, a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, and political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm. Crime is totally unknown. Pontbridge's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pontbridge is ranked 7,110^th in the world and 3^rd in Pontbridge Islands for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 10,836.38 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
