Current Info

The Kingdom of Golden sails is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed population of 439 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- is mainly concerned with the Environment, although Public Transport and Social Welfare are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 45%, but much higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Golden sails is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, military funding has been stripped back, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, and citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature'. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Golden sails's national animal is the dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the crown.
