General Info
Liverpool England is in the region of The Heartland, and has always been bar a few times when regional arguements got in the way. The nation is most reputed for its' sporting achievements, having won two major sporting titles, and hosting two others, excluding minor competitions inside The Heartland.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as Healthcare and Public Transport receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, ranking 7th in The Heartland and 872nd in the world at last count.
Government
Liverpool England used to be run by the President, Dave Goh, who refused to hold major elections, only allowing constituency elections. When the nation became the Greater Imperial Kingdom, Goh took the throne, but later stepped down in favour of elections, where he secured a narrow victory over Konishiwa Itshumitzu by under 1% of the vote.
Present Day
Presently, Goh and Itshumitzu hold President and Vice President positions, although they leave the running of the country to Premier Marc Newells, who served as Sport Minister, later Defence Minister, under Goh.
National elections still rarely happen, but more local elections take place. Three main parties contest elections, however, most of the time the main party, which is the ruling party, wins.
