UN Report: Income equality in Apolyton
Today's United Nations Report
The Most Income Equality in Apolyton
Citizens in these nations earn very similar incomes: their nations only have small gaps between the rich and poor.

# Nation UN Category Motto
1. The Free Republic of Terminal Dogma :Tyranny by Majority
2. The Dictatorship of Lemmington :Psychotic Dictatorship
3. The Disputed Territories of The Mad Capitan : Scandinavian Liberal Paradise
4. The People's Republic of Brelgovar : Corrupt Dictatorship
5. The Free Land of Ubinia : Left-wing Utopia
6. The Holy Empire of Laguza : Psychotic Dictatorship
7. The Free Republic of Greater Finland : Scandinavian Liberal Paradise
8. The Commonwealth of Akiria : Scandinavian Liberal Paradise
9. The People's Republic of Zephyra : Left-wing Utopia
10. The People's Republic of Suomi : Democratic Socialists

For the record I am 27 out of 34, so not that bad.

However I do want to stress that while reducing the gap between rich and poor is good and noble, this list does not take into account if the income is high or low. So the gap could be nothing but everybody leads a poor and decrepid lifestyle. That seems to be the case in most of these nations, therefor I am happy I am not one of them. Only SOME of my people live at the lowest living standard, were as the top 5 obviously communist lands are far from paradise.

I am proud to have Ubinia in the top 5, and commend those who have managed to create a high equality of the people.

I'm 8th, and very happy about that. Not only is it the greatest number in the world, but it means I have good equality, but still room for manouver, for bettering yourself, and for growth.

having a flat income tax, and not having an opportunityt o change it, unless you count that stupid military budget increase proposal, it's not my fault. just wait a couple days and I vow to move up the ladder of income equality

That's exactly why high levels of inequality are bad. How, exactly, does someone whose job is to dispense advice on economics, or politics, or whatever, deserve more than someone who works obscenely long shifts making clothes that then sell in shops for vastly inflated amounts?

Well I won't comment on the real world. Such is the way things work.

But in my nation, wages will be based on the amount of intelligence required or phsical labour needed. You work hard, you get good pay whether that hard work is physical or mental.

In that case, such inequality is not bad, as long as it is not excessive.
