The United States of Lauramerica is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by John Matrix with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.644 billion Lauramericans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sydney. The average income tax rate is 64.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Lauramerican economy, worth 460 trillion Laramerican dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 126,500 Laramerican dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
Burnt-out forty-foot-tall wicker men dot the countryside, the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, and more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lauramerica's national animal is the Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.
Lauramerica is ranked 195,372nd in the world and 2,879th in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 53.6600698242 days.
