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

The Republic of Lionstrapower is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 755 million Lionstrapowerians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jokerstate. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lionstrapowerian economy, worth 67.7 trillion jokpounds 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, 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 89,629 jokpounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

They who do not work shall not eat, Leader has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, politicians are fired for opening subjective statements with "I believe", and public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lionstrapower's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lionstrapower is ranked 30,747^th in the world and 999^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,212.58 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
