Education
Like in many other countries, it is mandatory for all kids to go to school in Ursannaia up to the age of 16. Both women and men are allowed to attend school, and 93% of the adult population has a higher secondary education, while 98% of the population can read and write. This is because the government provides free schooling up to secondary school, and since it is mandatory for kids from 6 to 16 to attend school, almost the whole population is literate. The government recognizes how important schooling is to the country, and they spend 7% of the GDP on education. Clean Water & Sanitation Tap water in Ursannaia is clean enough to drink, and 60% of the clean water in the country is groundwater. There are over 200 water providing countries in Ursannaia, but all of these are government owned, since private water providing companies are not allowed. This is so that the government can easily keep track of the cleanliness of the water. Water leakage in the distribution network is the lowest in the world, at only 4%. Clean water is accessible in every city in Ursannaia.

Health Care
Ursannaia is ranked as the country with the best health care in the world, based on factors such as accessibility, patient rights, and many more. Health insurance is mandatory in Ursannaia, so everyone in living in the country is covered by at least a basic insurance plan. There is a lot of freedom when it comes to choosing where to get your health insurance from, as well as where you want to be treated, so people can always go with the option that they feel most comfortable with. The healthcare also has very positive reviews from the Ursannaian citizens, and 86% of the adults surveyed said they were very confident that they were receiving healthcare that was safe and of good quality. That's a very large amount when compared to America, where only 35% of the adults surveyed said that they were confident in their healthcare system. Abortions are allowed in Ursannaia, and they are made fairly cheap, which means that less women that don't want to have their baby will resort to dangerous alternatives that could get them killed or seriously injured. The health insurance is made rather cheap by the government, and if someone earns less than a certain amount then they will be eligible for subsidized health insurance. Shelter Housing in Ursannaia is fairly affordable, and most people are able to live in houses unless they are in the capital city, where more people live in apartments due to how closely together the buildings are built. There are several homeless centers throughout the country for those who cannot afford to buy a house, so nobody has to sleep outside. |
