The Federated Councils of Lex Caledonia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Moira Ness with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.845 billion Lexiduns are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Camelon. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Lex Caledonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,588 trillion Merks 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 190,414 Merks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
