The Republic of Lammass is a tiny, genial nation, remarkable for its burgeoning fox population. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 18 million Lammassians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 20.2%.

The Lammassian economy, worth 1.06 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 58,619 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime is totally unknown. Lammass's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lammass is ranked 210,663^rd in the world and 558^th in Council of Asia for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 20.18 Effective Tax Rate.
