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

The Republic of Low Woodland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sean Gentry with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 1.214 billion Low Woodlandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Logan. The average income tax rate is 90.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Low Woodlandian economy, worth 143 trillion Planks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 117,973 Planks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

There have been reports of people marrying housepets, fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, and road rage is rarer but more terminal now that many people drive fully-operational battle tanks to work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Low Woodland's national animal is the Armadillo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Low Woodland is ranked 168,862^nd in the world and 6,898^th in The North Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 47.6 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
