The Summer of Lovelab is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Flower Child with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, daily referendums, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 5.532 billion Hippies enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The tiny, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Education, with Industry, Environment, and Administration also on the agenda, while Defense and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haight-Ashbury. The average income tax rate is 3.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Hip economy, worth 789 trillion peace signs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 142,742 peace signs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.
Bar brawls are an hourly occurrence, fire stations and hospitals can't deploy emergency vehicles because badly parked cars block them in, politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"), and history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students. Crime is totally unknown. Lovelab's national animal is the radical faerie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Free Love.
Lovelab is ranked 205,994th in the world and 98th in Gay for Most Stationary, with 40.743550313 days.
