The Republic of LeGuina is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Elizabeth Bennet with a fair hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.21 billion LeGuinans 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 enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse LeGuinan economy, worth 192 trillion Sheveks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,021 Sheveks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Artists are pillars of society, the tenet of free speech is held dear, holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, and the latest political memes depict Elizabeth Bennet as an overly-choreographed robot. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LeGuina's national animal is the Yorkinese, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
LeGuina is ranked 5,433rd in the world and 2nd in Ivory Tower for Safest, scoring 129.75 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
