The State of Lyndell

“Trial by Fire”

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

The State of Lyndell is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by High Commissioner with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 34.646 billion Lyndellians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dominion Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The very strong Lyndellian economy, worth a remarkable 1,673 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is 48,289 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, Lyndell has designated Dominion Heights as its capital city, and High Commissioner has just been declared ruler of Lyndell in an international press conference. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lyndell's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lyndell is ranked 235,949^th in the world and 267^th in 0000 for Lowest Crime Rates, with 55.22 law-abiding acts per hour.
