The Republic of Lablandia is a massive, genial nation, notable for its absence of drug laws, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.168 billion Lablandians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 33.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Lablandian economy, worth 219 trillion Grendels a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,301 Grendels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
The nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free, untold millions of Grendels are going into a new government-funded maternity leave scheme, city budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, and supervisors in Lablandia commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lablandia's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Lablandia is ranked 59,024th in the world and 3,582nd in Lazarus for Highest Poor Incomes, with 46,047.73 Standard Monetary Units.
