“Twirling Toward Freedom”

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

The Republic of Sjoronlander is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, zero percent divorce rate, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 9.418 billion Sjoronlanderians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Sjoronlanderian economy, worth 952 trillion lire a year, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 101,172 lire, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 406,919 per year while the poor average 16,834, a ratio of 24.2 to 1.

Candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, builders across Sjoronlander are blocked up with orders for new public loos, Leader's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, and Moby Dick can only be sold by pornographers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sjoronlander's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sjoronlander is ranked 11,818^th in the world and 215^th in racoda for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 9,071.78 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
