The District of The Grand Banks is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, complete lack of public education, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.443 billion Grand Banksians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Welfare is also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.
The very strong Grand Banksian economy, worth 821 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 40,167 aurums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 273,091 per year while the poor average 2,158, a ratio of 126 to 1.
Voting is voluntary, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, The Grand Banks has designated District City as its capital city, and Liard has just been declared ruler of The Grand Banks in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Grand Banks's national animal is the bovina, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Grand Banks is ranked 57,827th in the world and 1st in Asmara for Highest Food Quality, scoring 31.23 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
