The Principality of Lowerdale is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and daily referendums. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 18.254 billion Daleans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized government prioritizes Industry, although Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Social Policy and Public Transport receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 21.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Dalean economy, worth a remarkable 1,142 trillion 🪙 drakes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,588 🪙 drakes, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.
The nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide, Formula One cars in Lowerdale boast 56 miles per gallon, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, and high school bands practice by moonlight. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lowerdale's national animal is the 🐉 dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Lowerdale is ranked 328,932nd in the world and 45th in Lennart for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring -4.47 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
