The Uncharted Coordinates of Laffin Island is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Laffin Mcgaffin with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, anti-smoking policies, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 38.457 billion Laffin Islandians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iqaluit. The average income tax rate is 46.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Laffin Islandian economy, worth a remarkable 4,627 trillion Polar Crowns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 120,325 Polar Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, the government is crossing the Rubicon in its levels of corruption, fake designer clothes are shredded and burnt while many in the world don't have a shirt on their back, and Laffin Mcgaffin has returned as a hero from a brutal campaign to conquer the local beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laffin Island's national animal is the fin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is God Worshippers.
Laffin Island is ranked 19,580th in the world and 6th in Arctic for Most Corrupt Governments, with 102.01 kickbacks per hour.
