The Democratic Republic of West Ladynia is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 236 million West Ladynians 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 80.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The West Ladynian economy, worth 14.7 trillion Planets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 62,383 Planets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The police turn a blind eye to desecration if it's done in the name of religion or protest, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-Planet mansions, and 90% of active duty WLAF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Ladynia's national animal is the Peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
West Ladynia is ranked 162,260th in the world and 135th in Refugia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 243.32 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
