The Republic of the Commonwealth of The Father-Land is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Weston with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 41.781 billion Landians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pittsburgh. The average income tax rate is 87.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Father-Landian economy, worth a remarkable 6,987 trillion Landies a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 167,252 Landies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Sports fans complain that cricket tests now last an unbearable ten days, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, there's a bright dawn ahead for The Father-Land, and candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Father-Land's national animal is the Penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
The Father-Land is ranked 50,438th in the world and 9th in Virginia for Most Stationary, with 895.11614240308 days.
