The Democratic States of Loeje is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 96 million Loejeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The imploded Loejean economy, worth 634 billion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 6,607 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, discarded pennies litter the streets, and Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Loejean officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Loeje's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Loeje is ranked 207,630th in the world and 2nd in The House of Prayer for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 285.44 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
