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

The Kingdom of The Vanishing Shores is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Endwyr with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 5.547 billion Vanishing Shoresians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Emberholde. The average income tax rate is 88.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vanishing Shoresian economy, worth 773 trillion Gems a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 139,503 Gems, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done", the government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, and recognizing the Vanishing Shoresian flag qualifies you for citizenship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Vanishing Shores's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Vanishing Shores is ranked 261,634^th in the world and 390^th in Wintreath for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -215.73 on the Hayek Index.
