The LETI Holdout of Nimzonia

“We're Still Here”

The LETI Holdout of Nimzonia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Olaf Jakobsson with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 40.813 billion Nimzonians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Letiburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Nimzonian economy, worth a remarkable 9,011 trillion new shivs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 220,791 new shivs, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Pushy mums tell their kids to be doctors and engineers but steer them away from being penniless lawyers, bands of paramedics walk the streets looking for suspicious medical activity, N-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, and the construction of massive skyscrapers seems to be the result of Nimzonia's mid-life crisis. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Nimzonia's national animal is the crow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Nimzonia is ranked 270,194^th in the world and 1^st in The Lake Erie Tropical Islands for Most Primitive, scoring -241.81 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
