The Republic of Lethal Lock is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.27 billion Lethal Lockians 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 44.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Lethal Lockian economy, worth 68.7 trillion deniers 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. 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 8,311 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, a major religion has been named as Lethal Lock's national religion, and the sun rises an hour later on border communities. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lethal Lock's national animal is the leopard.
Lethal Lock is ranked 81,331st in the world and 34th in New Warsaw Pact for Most Stationary, with 595.8479867126 days.
