The People's Republic of New Mylawn is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Mylawn with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.457 billion New Mylawnians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 79.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse New Mylawnian economy, worth 275 trillion alliums 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 led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 79,772 alliums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, all mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, and referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Mylawn's national animal is the Onion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Onionism.
New Mylawn is ranked 34,834th in the world and 2,058th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,155.29 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
