The Most Serene Republic of Southland is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Chancellor Andrew Mann with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, sprawling nuclear power plants, and strictly enforced bedtime. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.83 billion Southlanders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Southland City. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Southlander economy, worth a remarkable 2,302 trillion Southland Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 212,605 Southland Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
One of the most popular models in Southland has a scarred face and one working eye, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, and rumor has it that Chancellor Andrew Mann has won three lotteries in a row. Crime is totally unknown. Southland's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Southland is ranked 2,402nd in the world and 94th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 243 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
