IN A place somewhere on Earth, there is a country.

Because the government was so good, 100% of the people received at least 10 years of education. Of those, 80% received 15 years of higher education.

There are 2million jobs and 1.9million people in the labour force. But 3% of them was unemployed, which is 57,000 people.

Most of them are entrepreneurs who retires at very young ages.
