The Free People of Neonlake is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Argle the Usurper with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 8.465 billion Neonites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of NeonCloud. The average income tax rate is 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Neon economy, worth 415 trillion Floppy Disks a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 49,043 Floppy Disks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace, Argle the Usurper's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and trespassers entering Argle the Usurper's office are immediately vaporized. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neonlake's national animal is the glow-crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is the 5 Spheres.
Neonlake is ranked 143,166th in the world and 2,447th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 190.0958505608 days.
