The United Communes of Greater Dublin is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by the communard council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its hatred of cheese, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 15.907 billion Greater Dublinians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 87.8%.
The very strong Greater Dublinian economy, worth 963 trillion Punts a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is 60,598 Punts, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 248,206 per year while the poor average 9,781, a ratio of 25.4 to 1.
Urban parents tell their children that the family car went to a farm upstate, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, a shocking number of estate planners are beneficiaries of their clients' wills, and academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Dublin's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Greater Dublin is ranked 280,966th in the world and 61st in Union of Free Nations for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.65 kickbacks per hour.
