The Stenchland of Lowestan is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by His Highness Lowestan Brandish with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, zero percent divorce rate, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 9.729 billion Lowestanians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lerner. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.2%.
The all-consuming Lowestanian economy, worth 966 trillion baht a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,355 baht, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.
The ban on cars has been repealed, His Highness Lowestan Brandish's perky ego is the talk of the town, the little guy plays a big role in Lowestanian politics, and the government is buying children's books by the thousands. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lowestan's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Lunchtimecoversationalists.
Lowestan is ranked 278,169th in the world and 7th in 17 Irish Traders Walk into a Bar for Most Stationary, with 7.7710366932 days.
