About 98% of the population is made up of ethnic Islanders, a pale brown of skin, black or brown-haired.
Island is a Pacific paradise, with a beautiful climate and lovely beaches, not to mention friendly inhabitants and no pollution. However, it sees relatively few tourists, as it is anything but easy to reach. The only public transport access is by foreign airlines.
The island is an underdeveloped country, just starting to import technologies most nations view as essentials. There are only five computers connected to the Internet (suffix: .id): one in Government House and four in the country’s only Internet Café, the U Cyber Portal.
Island has no army whatsoever, nor has it ever needed one. It was never colonised, and has existed peacefully on its own for a long while.
Imports: food products, technology, bicycles, pharmaceutical products and medical equipment
Exports: pottery; art, food products, minerals (mainly jade and obsidian)
Economy:
Traditionally, you can pay for goods and services either with money or with other goods and services. This makes the island’s economy somewhat difficult to rate, especially on the international market. The government regulates the economy to an extent to prevent anyone from slipping into severe poverty, and to prevent any damage to the environment.
