The Stratocratic Duchy of The Lowlands and Saxony is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Frederick-Hendrick van Gilze-Rijen with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, ubiquitous missile silos, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 18.953 billion Saxonians 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utrecht. The average income tax rate is 60.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Saxonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,474 trillion Saxonian Guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,549 Saxonian Guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Balaclava manufacturers are held criminally culpable for bank heists, only adults may purchase violent video games, citizens are prohibited from raising their voice above thirty decibels in commercial districts, and Saxonians believe manners maketh the leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Lowlands and Saxony's national animal is the Heron, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
The Lowlands and Saxony is ranked 21,007th in the world and 5th in Renegade Islands Alliance for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,523.08 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
