Average income is 12,977 Bombs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NukeLoP's national animal is the Radioactive Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

NukeLoP is ranked 301,802^nd in the world and 5^th in Canopy Command for Most Developed, scoring 43.69 on the Human Development Index.
