The Community of 420land is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 159 million 420landians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.
The strong 420landian economy, worth 7.95 trillion nugss a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 50,021 nugss , but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 322,392 per year while the poor average 3,135, a ratio of 102 to 1.
Military funding has been stripped back, the nation's official head of religious affairs is an atheist, the army is spending millions cloning khaki-colored dinosaurs, and enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. 420land's national animal is the tassled wobbegong shark, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.
420land is ranked 198,319th in the world and 104th in Philosophers for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -1.77 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
