The Kingdom of Portrigh is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates.
Its compassionate, intelligent population of 409 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
Phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, and retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Portrigh's national animal is the Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Cuillin.
It is made up of five Provinces Portree, Raasay & Rona, Trotternish Peninsula, Dunvegan Peninsula, Central, Soay & Scalpay, Armadale Peninsula.
Portrigh's national animal is the Sheep.
The Kingdom has two main langauges English and Gaelic, which is a derivative of Scots Gaelic.
