Cwh518

Population5.468 billion

The United Kingdom of Cwh518 is a mammoth, genial nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 5.468 billion Cwh518ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cwh518ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,015 trillion kroner a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 185,675 kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The first sword of Cwh518 does not run, minor parties are virtually absent in Parliament, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, and law schools are hurrying to teach the "prank defense" to their students. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cwh518's national animal is the Sloth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cwh518 is ranked 45,073rd in the world and 1st in Crestwood Heights for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,929.7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
