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 17th. Long live Redfern!

[General Ludd]

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

[Maniac]

I am last...

[Drogue]

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.

[H Tower]

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

[Method]

income equlity

income equlity

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?

[Dis]

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.

[GeneralTacticus]

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