Low Island

Population6.585 billion

The Republic of Low Island is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, rampant corporate plagiarism, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.585 billion Low Islandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.1%.

The thriving Low Islandian economy, worth 540 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Soda Sales, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,014 Golds, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Modesty is treated with the side-eye, tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers, teens graduate from front of house retail to the frontlines of war, and cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Low Island's national animal is the Clam, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Low Island is ranked 37,104th in the world and 109th in The grimy backyard of Bigej for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,372.95 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
