The People's Republic of Yorkshire and Northumbria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.179 billion Yorkshire and Northumbrians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 85.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Yorkshire and Northumbrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,340 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 101,706 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Gossip magazines have pictures of Leader sunbathing on the beach with political rivals, they say that Yorkshire and Northumbrians made a dessert and called it peace, incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, and a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yorkshire and Northumbria's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Yorkshire and Northumbria is ranked 11,080th in the world and 91st in Balder for Most Stationary, with 2,203.4424786848 days.
