The Puppet Tenders of The Wax Lion is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Jaye Tyler with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 32.657 billion Wax Lionians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Niagra Falls. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Wax Lionian economy, worth a remarkable 3,226 trillion smooshed faces a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 98,801 smooshed faces, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Janitors and factory workers are often better educated than the bosses they work for, a popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street", it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and the tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Wax Lion's national animal is the brass monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Wax Lion is ranked 168,898th in the world and 22nd in Wonderfalls Gift Emporium for Most Stationary, with 103.83421826828 days.
