The Community of LocaPeople is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, infamous sell-swords, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.007 billion LocaPeopleans 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, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Education are ignored. The average income tax rate is 57.7%.
The frighteningly efficient LocaPeoplean economy, worth 393 trillion Korunas 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized 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 196,116 Korunas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', sushi is sold on the black market, the news of budget cuts leaves a sour taste in LocaPeoplean mouths, and the nation refuses to discard its increasingly useless penny. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. LocaPeople's national animal is the Pig, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
LocaPeople is ranked 2,301st in the world and 36th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 20,447.62 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
