The Republic of Laurinque is a colossal, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning hawk population. The hard-working population of 5.194 billion Laurinqueans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 23.0%.
The Laurinquean economy, worth 206 trillion rubledollars a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 39,671 rubledollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laurinque's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Laurinque is ranked 183,544th in the world and 4,492nd in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 340.02 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
