The State of Werner Bancroft

“State”

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

The State of Werner Bancroft is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9.489 billion Werner Bancroftians 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, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The very strong Werner Bancroftian economy, worth 309 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 32,582 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 221,521 per year while the poor average 1,750, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, military funding has been stripped back, and Werner Bancroft has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Werner Bancroft's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Werner Bancroft is ranked 268,482^nd in the world and 6^th in 000000 for Safest, scoring 11.29 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
