The People's Republic of The Peoples Republic of Lamadia is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by The Patriarch with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 903 million Lamadians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nieltzche. The average income tax rate is 76.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Lamadian economy, worth 110 trillion Fendants 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 an impressive 121,889 Fendants, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Traffic tickets are punishable by 9000 push-ups, foreign leaders who don't applaud The Patriarch's speeches are regarded as enemies of The Peoples Republic of Lamadia, most ambassadors from The Peoples Republic of Lamadia retire only a few years after being appointed, and anyone who so much as frowns risks being referred to a mental health unit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Peoples Republic of Lamadia's national animal is the Siberian Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
The Peoples Republic of Lamadia is ranked 276,085th in the world and 377th in The Leftist Assembly for Nicest Citizens, with 0.5 average smiles per day.
