Lughan

Population4.191 billion

The Community of Lughan is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.191 billion Lughanians 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lughanian economy, worth 496 trillion anars 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 118,365 anars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, the Lughan City Film Festival recently voted 'Lughanian Getting Hit By Football' as best film, Leader is famed for giving great back rubs, and healthcare workers are flummoxed over the spike in foreign tourists with sudden-onset heart disease. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lughan's national animal is the Colibri, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lughan is ranked 5,483rd in the world and 96th in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 14,574.7 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
