The London Borough of Islington is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23.696 billion Islingtonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Upper Street London N1. The average income tax rate is 34.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Islingtonian economy, worth 733 trillion Minoan tala a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 30,946 Minoan tala, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, and legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Islington's national animal is the little owl, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Islington is ranked 119,999th in the world and 6th in London for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,696.18 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
