Linnuis

The Dark Lord of Linnuis is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President George Bentley with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.346 billion Linnuans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eslafordum. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Linnuan economy, worth 299 trillion Guineas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 127,502 Guineas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, Eslafordum's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, bris parties are all the rage, and royalist is the most offensive slur in the Linnuan language. Crime is totally unknown. Linnuis's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
