“Pride and Industry”

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

The Republic of South Lyna Hortus is a large, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 68 million South Lyna Hortusians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 28.3%.

The strong South Lyna Hortusian economy, worth 4.44 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,287 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, and hedge fund managers are diversifying into herbaceous borders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. South Lyna Hortus's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

South Lyna Hortus is ranked 108,883^rd in the world and 2,352^nd in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.97 law-abiding acts per hour.
