The Protectorate of Lamp Post VIII is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning polar bear population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 17.857 billion Lamp Post VIIIians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 18.4%.
The Lamp Post VIIIian economy, worth 765 trillion pendulums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 42,876 pendulums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Voting is voluntary. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lamp Post VIII's national animal is the polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Lamp Post VIII is ranked 42,092nd in the world and 590th in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 1,048.26781521928 days.
