The Queendom of Yummy Lemon Pies is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.983 billion Yummy Lemon Piesians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 71.8%.
The all-consuming Yummy Lemon Piesian economy, worth 169 trillion Lemons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Soda Sales, Tourism, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 85,642 Lemons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.
The logging industry is celebrating as tourists plaster Yummy Lemon Pies with trees, at the edge of the final frontier space's biggest missile platform is about to unfold, homeless people are frequently charged with trespassing on public property, and many believe that Leader's head is big enough for the sun to orbit around it. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yummy Lemon Pies's national animal is the Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Yummy Lemon Pies is ranked 135,290th in the world and 248th in Forest for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.24 law-abiding acts per hour.
