The People's Republic of Leidmark is a huge, genial nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 494 million Leidmarkians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Börkholm. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Leidmarkian economy, worth 25.6 trillion Kruunus a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 51,789 Kruunus, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, the state considers itself the 'third parent' of every child in the nation, pedal-powered removal vans are a popular Maxxmas gift for the children of separated parents, and everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Leidmark's national animal is the Caribou, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Leidmark is ranked 154,863rd in the world and 4,096th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 8.56 flags saluted per person per day.
