The People's Republic of Liwayway

“The True, The Fierce, The Brave”

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

The People's Republic of Liwayway is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 447 million Liwaywayans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalayaan City. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Liwaywayian economy, worth 52.9 trillion Diras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 118,328 Diras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, the nation's endangered species are no longer endangered, and deli patrons examine their roast beef for undetonated explosives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Liwayway's national animal is the Liwaywayan Cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Liwayway is ranked 259,113^th in the world and 5,418^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -7.87 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
