The Kingdom of Locarekma is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its daily referendums, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 530 million Locarekmans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.
The all-consuming Locarekman economy, worth 47.1 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 88,857 rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 272,270 per year while the poor average 22,447, a ratio of 12.1 to 1.
Kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, immigrants complain that natives keep coming over and taking their jobs, the nation's school children are fluent in Klingon but lack basic mathematical skills, and scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Locarekma's national animal is the porpoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Locarekma is ranked 129,326th in the world and 2,285th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 13.7 flags saluted per person per day.
