“Event window determined.”

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

The Protectorate of Lamp Post XXIV is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 17.831 billion Lamp Post XXIVians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 29.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Lamp Post XXIVian economy, worth 808 trillion pendulums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Average income is 45,352 pendulums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lamp Post XXIV's national animal is the polar bear.

Lamp Post XXIV is ranked 105,050^th in the world and 1^st in Federation of Brutal Dictators for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.28 law-abiding acts per hour.
