The Republic of Light44 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its vat-grown people, unlimited-speed roads, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.057 billion Light44ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 56.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Light44ian economy, worth 468 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 92,686 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Children seem to be getting better at lying these days, the army insists there is nothing gay about men in uniforms rolling in the mud, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and expensive show trials reveal the harshness of the nation's justice system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Light44's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Light44 is ranked 243,037th in the world and 3,436th in Artificial Solar System for Most Stationary, with 20.79785474492 days.
