United Laurentian States

The Empire of The United Laurentian States is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of Laurentians 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 large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 38.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The developing Laurentian economy, worth 231 billion dollars a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. The average income is 25,717 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, the death penalty has been reintroduced, The United Laurentian States's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laurentia's national animal is the Black Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
