“Per strenuam quarumdam succedant”

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

The Kingdom of Lazarevich is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Giovanni de Lazzari with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.764 billion Lazarevichians 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 Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lazaropolis. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lazarevichian economy, worth 241 trillion Imperial Gold Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,741 Imperial Gold Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, parking's carefree without parking car fees, a ban on robots in disguise has transformed the entertainment industry, and anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lazarevich's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Lazarevich is ranked 210,855^th in the world and 7,259^th in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 12,170.01 Standard Monetary Units.
