The Republic of Large Island is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.31 billion Large 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Large Islandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,045 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,964 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Metal detectors at school gates make sure that teenagers are carrying at least one sidearm, professional athletes juggle part-time jobs to avoid bankruptcy, people boast about their low income on their dating profiles, and judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Large Island's national animal is the Vampire Squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Large Island is ranked 29,521st in the world and 27th in The grimy backyard of Bigej for Highest Food Quality, scoring 69.77 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
