The Black Holy Matriarchy of Queen Lagertha is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Aslaug with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ubiquitous missile silos, and enforced nudity. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 4.868 billion Germanics enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hedeby. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Queen Lagerthan economy, worth a remarkable 2,198 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 451,678 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Depression sinks in after each election when voters realize they are stuck with these people for years, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, commemoration of the Great Goddess White War costs almost as much as the war itself, and posters on 'Queen Lagerthan Values' advise against being proud of Queen Lagertha. Crime is almost non-existent. Queen Lagertha's national animal is the Kraken, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Germanic Paganism.
Queen Lagertha is ranked 164,291st in the world and 21st in Goddess White for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
