The Nomadic Peoples of Lake Winnipesaukee is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gill The Goldfish with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and complete absence of social welfare. The cynical population of 29.096 billion Lake Winnipesaukeeans 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 Environment, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 40.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Lake Winnipesaukeean economy, worth 687 trillion Baby Steps a year, is highly specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 23,612 Baby Steps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
Space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, adultery has been made a capital offence, the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Lake Winnipesaukee's national animal is the goldfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Death Therapy.
Lake Winnipesaukee is ranked 209,104th in the world and 8th in New Hampshire for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 34.37 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
