OverviewFactbookPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Thyul Republic of Umivo is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Theodora Kristinsdóttir with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.78 billion Thyulans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reykjanesbær. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Thyul economy, worth 635 trillion Krónas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,965 Krónas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Only lightning has a chance of striking Theodora Kristinsdóttir twice, the media seems excessively interested in what Theodora Kristinsdóttir is wearing this season, popular sunny beaches always have a cloudy outlook, and foreign workers are flooding in as Krónas flood out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Umivo's national animal is the North Atlantic raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Umivo is ranked 247,909th in the world and 1,132nd in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.24 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
