The Big Anime Watcher of Lurklife 4 is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Liiru laquaza with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, fear of technology, and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 7.509 billion Lurklife 4ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dousuru. The average income tax rate is 27.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Lurklife 4ian economy, worth 294 trillion francs 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 39,281 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Seats at the back of the bus are reserved for homosexuals, stews often contain used tissues and pocket fluff, DDT is used widely to repel disease-carrying insects, and soup kitchens are the only things doing roaring business. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lurklife 4's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Datyre.
Lurklife 4 is ranked 132,503rd in the world and 2,601st in Suspicious for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.5 law-abiding acts per hour.
