NationStates Factbook

The Incorporated States of North Edinburgh is a huge, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 391 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85%. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

School uniforms are compulsory, smoking is banned in public areas, sex offenders find themselves 'cut off' from any ability to repeat their crimes, and lending firms are subject to strict government regulations. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. North Edinburgh's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the pound.
