Log Island

Population6.959 billion

The Republic of Log Island is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.959 billion Log Islandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 68.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Log Islandian economy, worth 954 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,178 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

People who get diabetes can sue donut manufacturers, no animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it, scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war, and foreigners write "made in Log Island" on shoddy merchandise in hope of receiving a buy-out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Log Island's national animal is the Log Beast, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Log Island is ranked 127,185th in the world and 270th in The grimy backyard of Bigej for Most Stationary, with 266.36596147012 days.
