The Most Serene Republic of Saint Lawrence City-State is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, vat-grown people, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 316 million Saint Lawrencians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Laurentia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.4%.
The all-consuming Saint Lawrencian economy, worth 28.5 trillion gold dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 90,121 gold dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 255,201 per year while the poor average 25,444, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.
