The Matriarchy of LAURIland reload is a huge, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical, devout population of 266 million LAURIland reloadians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.
The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant LAURIland reloadian economy, worth 3.95 trillion fakiuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Tourism. Average income is 14,845 fakiuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LAURIland reload's national animal is the ornitorrinco, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
LAURIland reload is ranked 268,362nd in the world and 109th in Where Germaniccat Rules for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -9.47 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
