“Lumity”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Loving Couple of -Tr1bute4rt is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Owl Beast with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.079 billion -Tr1bute4rtians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Owl House. The average income tax rate is 61.6%.

The frighteningly efficient -Tr1bute4rtian economy, worth 753 trillion snails 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 a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 impressive 123,877 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Spiritual tourists meditate in the ruins of -Tr1bute4rtian cathedrals, one complaint of -Tr1bute4rt's new periodic table is it's easy to confuse fearlessleaderium with gloriousleaderium, heartbroken parents are urged to "smile for the camera", and the suicide rate mysteriously skyrockets during census years. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. -Tr1bute4rt's national animal is the owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cards.

-Tr1bute4rt is ranked 95,398^th in the world and 68^th in Africa for Most Extreme, scoring 24.11 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
