The Shadowy Dominion of Lamont Cranston is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 36.06 billion Lamont Cranstonians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Lamont Cranstonian economy, worth a remarkable 4,205 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 116,628 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 584,452 per year while the poor average 13,055, a ratio of 44.8 to 1.
There has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes, children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Lamont Cranston's national animal is the Shadow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Lamont Cranston is ranked 1,607th in the world and 1st in Equinox for Most Stationary, with 4,234.70562312 days.
