The Most Serene Republic of Southland is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chancellor Andrew Mann with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.774 billion Southlanders enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

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 93.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Southlander economy, worth a remarkable 2,491 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 211,642 Southland Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, rumor has it that Chancellor Andrew Mann has won three lotteries in a row, artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air, and giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Chancellor Andrew Mann is a silly poophead. Crime is totally unknown. Southland's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Southland is ranked 267,770^th in the world and 11,226^th in Lazarus for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 14,391.71 Standard Monetary Units.
