“Working On A Dream”

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

The Kingdom of Luxtand is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Francisco with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, conspicuous electricity pylons, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 8.929 billion Luxtandians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Education, although Industry, Law & Order, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuevo San Francisco. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Luxtandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,279 trillion euros a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 143,320 euros, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

You need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly, government leaders testify at international tribunals on why the sun went out, tech companies are playing whack-a-mole with one-post accounts, and police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Luxtand's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Luxtand is ranked 259,996^th in the world and 1^st in Union Of North Countries for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,287.86 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
