“travelling”

The Nomadic Land of L2 is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 8.897 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Education and Commerce are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 46%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, goldfishs with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, and libraries are bulldozed to make way for internet cafés. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. L2's national animal is the goldfish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the wind.

L2 is ranked 8th in the region and 50,583rd in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
