The Republic of Lezgistan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Yedij Hachemuk with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.735 billion Lezgins are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Derbent. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.9%.
The all-consuming Lezgistani economy, worth a remarkable 1,198 trillion Manats a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,062 Manats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 454,020 per year while the poor average 23,537, a ratio of 19.3 to 1.
Truancy officers have a hard time catching children trained in advanced camouflage skills, tower block residents are each held responsible for four square inches of front lawn, unpopular scientists are shunned by name, and enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lezgistan's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Islam.
Lezgistan is ranked 279,202nd in the world and 35th in Middle East for Most Beautiful Environments, with 6.02 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
