The People's Republic of The Southern Great Lakes is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic population of 169 million Southern Great Lakers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Southern Great Laker economy, worth 7.10 trillion Dollars 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 Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is 42,008 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight, sleazy politicians exploit the Parliamentary Code of Conduct to purge their rivals, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Southern Great Lakes's national animal is the Lake Sturgeon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
The Southern Great Lakes is ranked 14,927th in the world and 271st in the West Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 84.13 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
