The Egalitarian Utopia of Lower Northwest Corner is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Bright Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 9.226 billion Lonwexians 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, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Administration, with Industry, Environment, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imagine No Possessions. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lonwexian economy, worth a remarkable 1,533 trillion white nuggets 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. 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 166,188 white nuggets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Doctors are learning that red tape makes ineffective bandages, chest pains are considered part of the dining experience in Lonwexian restaurants, teachers are routinely tested to keep their jobs, and visitors to Graffiti Warrens National Park are offered a complimentary tetanus vaccination. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Lower Northwest Corner's national animal is the white dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Vague Spiritual Feelings.

Lower Northwest Corner is ranked 326,528^th in the world and 8^th in XS IV for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -15.03 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
