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

The United Kingdom of Luxemstein is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alexander Hamilton with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 3.505 billion Luxemstanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arstotzka. The average income tax rate is 80.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Luxemstanian economy, worth 507 trillion Stanians a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,713 Stanians, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

A flying elephant and Alexander Hamilton share the same nickname, residents of new housing subdivisions complain about the total absence of supermarkets and restaurants, organ donation is compulsory, and there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Luxemstein's national animal is the Ocelot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is MatPatheism.

Luxemstein is ranked 204,955^th in the world and 3,756^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -2.5 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
