Chapter 160: A Day in the Life of Nord

ps: Thank you for the tips of Xixing Temple Yuxia and !

In June 1987, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher formed a new government, making her the longest-serving post-war Prime Minister and the first Prime Minister in more than 160 years to achieve three consecutive terms.

The succession of British prime ministers did not affect the Nord principality, which benefited greatly as the European economy began to return to pre-war levels and continued to grow.

There are seven six-star hotels, 7,000 daily guests in large amusement parks, and the tourism economy accounts for more than 6.5 percent of the total local economy.

The Principality of Nord is a country that does not prohibit gambling, but the right to operate casinos is in the hands of the government, and the main body is still on the sea, and the luxury yacht is also the only casino without restrictions.

If you want to gamble a little more, then the casinos along the coast are the best place to go, as they don't offer credit and there are daily limits on bets, mainly to prevent some of the gamblers from going bankrupt. Some people may say that you can go to the sea to gamble without restrictions, but unfortunately, the ticket price of the yacht blocks most of the guests, and some yachts also have identity restrictions, which makes ordinary citizens can only yearn for it but cannot go.

There are more than 130,000 native residents in Nord, and with far more than 200,000 tourists, a large city of 200,000, the daily consumption here is huge. Of course, at the same time, there are many job opportunities, and the tax revenue and economy brought by it are enough to make people blush.

NORD has always been very much in the respect of luxury, it can be said that it is not uncommon to spend hundreds of euros a month in NORD home, this is just the consumption of ordinary citizens, and it is common for tourists to spend thousands of euros a day.

Walking on the main road, which is full of Chanel and Versace international brands, if you are not mentally prepared to spend 100 euros, then it is better not to go in.

The average annual salary of ordinary citizens in the Principality of Nord has exceeded €3,500 at this time, and even some foreign workers have €1,800 to €2,300. Although it is still some way from the United States, it is almost on par with other European countries.

This increase is mainly due to the abolition of various benefits, and without raising the salaries of citizens, it is almost impossible for them to live as leisurely as they used to. Of course, there are also benefits to the abolition of welfare, and some citizens who are waiting to die have begun to work hard, after all, if they don't work hard, they can only ensure that their lives are barely good.

As the population grows, the Cabinet plans to use some of the community land, and the new community will be sold, and the property prices in the Principality of Nord will always be controlled by the government, so there is no need to worry about housing prices exceeding too much of their own support economic level in the future.

Affordable housing has begun to be reduced or even completely outlawed, and these low-cost rental houses will be converted into new apartments and modern high-rises. Most of the workers live in their apartments, while a small number choose to rent their own apartments.

There are no large industrial groups in NORD, and some are just office headquarters, so the core economy of NORD Principality should be services, finance, IT, and other industries with a relatively small footprint.

The working hours of the Principality of Nord are seven hours in the summer, from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., and six hours in the winter, except for an hour earlier in the afternoon.

This system of work has significantly reduced the number of tourists on the streets during working hours, but after half past six in the afternoon, because there is still some time before dark, cafes and fast food restaurants are almost full, and there are many pedestrians resting on the benches on the streets.

Nord is really wealthy, and the taxis have all been changed to the new Audi for €60,000, and Joseph was not satisfied with the taxi company's behavior, but when the results of the investigation were submitted, Joseph kept silent. Eighty percent of Nord citizens consider the taxi company to buy a new Audi in line with their wishes, because it makes them more comfortable to ride. Even among the tourists, there are few who dislike the high price of taxis.

Because of the almost unlimited resources, Joseph also has a relatively low price of oil regulation, but now that Audi AG and the Academy of Sciences are researching environmentally friendly energy, the cancellation of oil fields is a matter of time.

Since the great change in 1986, the lives of NORD citizens have changed a lot, first of all, after the abolition of benefits, because of the work, the number of people who exercise in the morning has increased significantly.

The average Nord citizen gets up at about 6:00 a.m., then runs and exercises until about 6:30, starts to get ready for work after breakfast, and reads books and newspapers in his free time. It's 11:00 after the busy work, and it takes 1 minute and 30 minutes to go home, and there is no time for entertainment in the morning to cook and eat.

At noon, you can choose to sleep or play games, browse forums, and perhaps the most leisurely time is after work, dinner, movies, dates, KTV, nightclubs......

This is a day in the life of a Nord citizen, in fact, it is relatively easy and casual, their salary is enough to support them for any recreational activities, and the only difference between rich and non-rich is perhaps the number of luxury goods owned.

Because of the stock market and low-interest loans, there are not a few luxury cars with more than 100,000 euros owned by Nord, and some supercars and famous cars such as Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and Bugatti Veyron can be seen everywhere on the streets.

Of course, at the same time, you should not be surprised to see stars from a certain country on the street, this is a shopping paradise, attracting a large number of stars is not an exaggeration, according to statistics, 90% of Hollywood film and television stars in the United States have been to the Principality of Nord, and the remaining 10% are also very yearning, but because time has not yet implemented the action.

According to a Hollywood tabloid, if you ask those female stars who the man they want to marry the most, it is undoubtedly Nord Joseph Ragnar, not only because he is the richest man in Europe and one of the most famous richest people in the world, but also because he has the most noble status and great influence and power.

Good-looking, wealthy, powerful, although younger, this does not prevent him from being a prince charming, and Joseph smiled helplessly when he learned of the tabloid report.

Recently, Joseph's MSN friends have started to increase a lot, which is related to Joseph's desire to get close to the lives of ordinary citizens, because Joseph feels that as time passes, he begins to become more and more unfamiliar with that level, and maybe one day he will also make a mistake of hundreds of euros for an egg.
