Location: the West Pacific

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Lab is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Mr Arby with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate population of 2.739 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lab City. The average income tax rate is 79%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, organ donation rates have hit a new low, the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. Crime is totally unknown. Lab's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Cup.

Lab is ranked 164th in the West Pacific and 7,122nd in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 83 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
