The Free Land of Lake Onega is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 2.584 billion Lake Onegans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 62.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Lake Onegan economy, worth 172 trillion Ducats 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 significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 66,583 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Newspapers may not print any negative stories about the government, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, and citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lake Onega's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lake Onega is ranked 109,275^th in the world and 16^th in Swabia for Highest Average Incomes, with 66,583.79 Standard Monetary Units.
