The Republic of The United Lowerlands is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 341 million Lowerlanders are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riverdam. The average income tax rate is 7.8%.

The powerhouse Lowerlandish economy, worth 31.8 trillion goldens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 93,227 goldens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Maintaining economic growth is no laughing matter, travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, a degree of self-hatred is vital for a future in politics, and the law is more interested in punishing crime than preventing it. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The United Lowerlands's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The United Lowerlands is ranked 110,182^nd in the world and 714^th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 14.12 flags saluted per person per day.
