AnimalGolden Pheasant

The Kingdom of North East Somerset is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jacob Rees-Mogg with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 42.625 billion Somersetians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 1.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient North East Somersetian economy, worth a remarkable 6,970 trillion Golden Sovereigns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 163,526 Golden Sovereigns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

It's always rabbit season, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, most academic research has ground to a halt, and billions are being spent on a new island airport. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. North East Somerset's national animal is the Golden Pheasant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

North East Somerset is ranked 291,931st in the world and 11,126th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 13.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
