The Fishing Colony of Lux Conos is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Fishboy Conos with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.956 billion Conosians 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 Healthcare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brithyll. The average income tax rate is 80.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Lux Conosian economy, worth 433 trillion Trout a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 87,565 Trout, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
A government program is underway to revitalize Lux Conos's beaches, international humanitarian organisations are applauding the government for ending the death penalty, the government has legalised small-scale capitalism, and five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lux Conos's national animal is the Trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is No gods Only trout.
Lux Conos is ranked 41,306th in the world and 58th in The Wellspring for Most Cultured, scoring 74 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
