The People's Republic of The Five Lakes

“From the Water, For All.”

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

The People's Republic of The Five Lakes is a very large, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 371 million Lakers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Chicago. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Five Lakesian economy, worth 22.6 trillion Stels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 60,804 Stels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Snapgram channel "Embarrassing Baby Leader Pics" has made Leader's mom a celebrity, the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, the nation grinds to a halt on the anniversary of every marginally noteworthy event, and lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Five Lakes's national animal is the Sparrow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Five Lakes is ranked 165,760^th in the world and 2,240^th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 396.24 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
