The Federation of Logical Paradox is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 42.389 billion Logical Paradoxians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Logical Paradox City. The average income tax rate is 20.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Logical Paradoxian economy, worth an astonishing 15,204 trillion MUS a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 358,685 MUS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, billions of MUS are being poured into a space program, the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, and kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Logical Paradox's national animal is the ferret, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Logical Paradox is ranked 12,291st in the world and 2nd in Discordia for Most Stationary, with 2,038.06398730488 days.
