The Republic of Light53 is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.073 billion Light53ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.4%.
The all-consuming Light53ian economy, worth 441 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 87,039 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.
Most people suffer from some form of hearing loss, racial supremacists indulge their wildest fantasies in cinemas and theatres across the nation, the national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service, and ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Light53's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Light53 is ranked 243,055th in the world and 3,445th in Artificial Solar System for Most Stationary, with 20.79722280088 days.
