The Free Land of Linbukt is a huge, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 454 million Linbuktians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Linbuktian economy, worth 3.07 trillion kroner a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. Average income is 6,767 kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Linbukt's national animal is the reinsdyr, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Linbukt is ranked 59,549^th in the world and 65^th in Empire of Love for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.48 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
