Welcome to Izzieland
04/01/2003 10:48 amWell - this is Izzie's attempt at being rather nice. My favorite feline says that only the last four issues get included in your dominion's profile so Izzie wants to keep this for the sake of nostalgia. Andvari is getting nicer and Azkaban is getting nastier. The Ministry of Misery has already made declarations of war. When the Ministry of Finance opens its doors again on 6 Jan, Izzie might finally get herself some more suitable flags for her dominions.
Now is only a pity that the tax office doesn't recognize Izzies offshore activities.
Nice to find a place that doesn't have a problem with double identities. Four nations are allowed but only one represented at the UN. Izzie shouldn't have a problem there. Only BIG nasty nations with lots and lots of weapons of mass destruction get a say in that place.
The Borderlands of Andvari is a small, devout nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 14 million enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 52%, and even higher for the wealthy. An almost nonexistent private sector is dominated by the Woodchip Exports industry.
The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the rainbow serpent is a protected species, and voting is voluntary. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Andvari's national animal is the rainbow serpent, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the oro.
Does seem just a bit too NICE for evil Izzie. Andvari is of course her little effort at public relations and window dressing. But when her heart of darkness is revealled, this is what we find
The Borderlands of Azkaban
"There is only Power and those too weak to seek it."
UN Category: Corporate Police State
Civil Rights: Unheard Of Economy: Powerhouse Political Freedoms: Outlawed
Location: The Alliance of Mordor
The Borderlands of Azkaban is a large, economically powerful nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 23 million are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, and Soda Sales industries.
Nudity is frowned upon, Harry Potter books are banned, euthanasia is illegal, and the country is preparing for war. Crime is a serious problem. Azkaban's national animal is the vampire, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the zmeya.
Now is only a pity that the tax office doesn't recognize Izzies offshore activities.
