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

The Democratic States of Londylania is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, pith helmet sales, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 927 million Londylanians 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, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.0%.

The Londylanian economy, worth 117 trillion ekohs 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 126,408 ekohs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 357,327 per year while the poor average 35,777, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

A citizen who thinks a slave is a deadbeat is entitled to make the descriptor literally true, singles on the dating scene no longer worry about looking their age, the Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition, and home renovation projects take decades to complete. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Londylania's national animal is the octopus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Londylania is ranked 74,763^rd in the world and 672^nd in the West Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,443.28 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
