The Isle Of Man


Red with the Three Legs of Man emblem (triskelion), in the center; the three legs are joined at the thigh and bent at the knee; in order to have the toes pointing clockwise on both sides of the flag, a two-sided emblem is used; the flag is based on the coat-of-arms of the last recognized Norse King of Mann, Magnus III (r. 1252-1265); the triskelion has its roots in an early Celtic sun symbol

The Isle Of Man- adopt a country assignment


The Island of Man is a country located in Western Europe, island in the Irish Sea, between Great Britain and Ireland. It is a small island with approximately 76,512 (July 2010 est.)people. The main language spoken on the Isle of Man is English, with most of it`s citizens being Christian. It`s GDP per capita(PPP) is $35,000 (2005 est.) with its total GDP being $2.719 billion (2005 est.) Their legal system simply follows the laws of England, England being a parliamentary democracy.

The Isle of Man is only 1% agriculture, 13% industry and 86% services with their employment. Because of The Isle of Man`s overcast and cloudy weather it is not able to rely on agriculture as a steady source of income. Their small population also makes it difficult for them to become an industrial country; hence why they are 86% focused on services as means for employment and financial gain. In terms of their labor force, only 2% of citizens are involved in tourism, which is indicative that it is not on peoples top 10 places to go to list.

The Isle of Man`s primary labour force stems from careers in scientific and professional services, and banking and finance, both are 18% of the population. Because the country`s population is more adherent to both career categories, categories that are more ``up and coming`` and lead to new advancements as well they are good investments as careers, the country is able to make more money.

The Isle of Man has no transnational disputes or any sort of issue with another country. This is a positive thing. However, there are only 5 out of 1000 people that immigrate to the Isle of Man which could possibly leave the country less multicultural. The life expectancy for both men and women averages at 78.82 years old. It also has a 1.5% unemployment rate. This is another positive of the trait.
