The Protectorate of Lamand is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 24.452 billion Lamandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Welfare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 50.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Lamandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,179 trillion Euros 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. 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 48,230 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, education and welfare spending are on the rise, gambling is outlawed, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lamand's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Lamand is ranked 132,611th in the world and 59th in Philippines for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,189.25 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
