The Principality of Lowerdale is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, complete lack of prisons, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 18.239 billion Daleans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Public Transport aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 21.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Dalean economy, worth a remarkable 1,141 trillion 🪙 drakes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,588 🪙 drakes, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide, Formula One cars in Lowerdale boast 56 miles per gallon, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, and high school bands practice by moonlight. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lowerdale's national animal is the 🐉 dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Lowerdale is ranked 134,521^st in the world and 21^st in Lennart for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,744.74 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
