The Republic of Lowelian

“A populo, Per populum”

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

The Republic of Lowelian is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mr President with a fair hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, daily referendums, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 7.483 billion Lowelianians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lowelia. The average income tax rate is 40.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lowelianian economy, worth 758 trillion Bitcoins a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 101,326 Bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The blood, sweat, and tears of poor Lowelianians make research institutes rich, crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, airship use has soared while property values beneath their routes have plummeted, and stale 'yo mamma' insults have been replaced by 'your maternal DNA' insults. Crime is totally unknown. Lowelian's national animal is the Puppy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lowelian is ranked 167,494^th in the world and 3,056^th in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 728.7 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
