The Lappi Republic of North Cross is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Jelenä Susi with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.674 billion Lapps love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ladoga. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Lapp economy, worth a remarkable 5,550 trillion kruunus a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 405,925 kruunus, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Meat prices are soaring as the farming industry struggle under government-imposed restrictions, the nation is known abroad mostly for its Parliamentary antics, public intoxication has decreased ever since fraternities were banned, and one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Cross's national animal is the Menninkäinen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Finnic Shamanism.
North Cross is ranked 55th in the world and 2nd in International Democratic Union for Most Cultured, scoring 975 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
