The Mind Expanding Trip of LSD is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Timothy Leary with a fair hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, keen interest in outer space, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 27.501 billion LSDians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Far Side of The Mind. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient LSDian economy, worth a remarkable 7,010 trillion hits 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 led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 254,930 hits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All recreational drugs are legal, sex changes are routinely performed at LSD's hospitals, town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, and prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators. Crime is totally unknown. LSD's national animal is the tree frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The League For Spiritual Discovery.

LSD is ranked 1,433^rd in the world and 2^nd in Hippies for Nicest Citizens, with 79.56 average smiles per day.
