Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Naval Expedition of Lake Paho is a massive, genial nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 3.779 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Social Equality and the Environment are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 22A Runcorn Avenue. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, a vast monorail network carries people all over the country, and every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government. Crime is totally unknown. Lake Paho's national animal is the flea, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the spam.

Lake Paho is ranked 4,115th in the Pacific and 101,285th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -14 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
