The United Socialist States of Lemenis

“Unity, Discipline, Work. The Backbones Of Society”

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

The United Socialist States of Lemenis is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Premier Liam Davey with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical, humorless population of 3.022 billion Lemenisians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lemenia. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Lemenisian economy, worth 427 trillion Lemons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 141,422 Lemons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, Lemenisian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Premier Liam Davey, and the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lemenis's national animal is the Crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Daveyism.

Lemenis is ranked 13,971^st in the world and 269^th in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.32 law-abiding acts per hour.
