The State of La Costa Rica is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and renowned for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-working, democratic population of 16.7 billion La Costa Ricans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 22.0%.

The La Costa Rican economy, worth 676 trillion betales a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Average income is 40,532 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, the tenet of free speech is held dear, La Costa Rica has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of La Costa Rica in an international press conference. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. La Costa Rica's national animal is the deer.

La Costa Rica is ranked 198,859^th in the world and 3^rd in Australia Commonwealth for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
