The Stellar Empire of Lemlar is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Konstantinos Metaxas with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, public floggings, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 17.459 billion Lemlaer hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Konstantinopolis. The average income tax rate is 55.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Lemlari economy, worth a remarkable 5,543 trillion Dramlaris a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 317,521 Dramlaris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, and dealers go from pushing drugs to pushing up daisies. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Lemlar's national animal is the Manticore, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.
Lemlar is ranked 3,557th in the world and 4th in Greater Middle East for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 140,661.88 Standard Monetary Units.
