The Republic of Legonica is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 18.742 billion Legonicans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bay City. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Legonican economy, worth a remarkable 7,053 trillion Denarii a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 376,332 Denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Tourists outnumber citizens two to one, Leader's office is running a trade deficit of midnight oil, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, and the disabled are forced to undergo an MRI scan every time they pick up their benefit payments. Crime is totally unknown. Legonica's national animal is the Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Legonica is ranked 1,511th in the world and 34th in the Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 376,332.92 Standard Monetary Units.
