Nation/Lake Flotillas

The Mezalene Empire of Lake Flotillas is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Francis III with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.14 billion Mezarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riverside City. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Mezalene economy, worth 722 trillion Riverias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 174,618 Riverias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

International collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Lake Flotillas, fruit pickers with degrees in Dolphin psychology are a common sight, the nation's leading climatologists are investigating animal flatulence in efforts to reduce methane emissions, and t-shirts displaying a photo of King Francis III performing the Full-Monty are selling out. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lake Flotillas's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Cosmocreedism.

Lake Flotillas is ranked 32,252nd in the world and 1,424th in Lazarus for Largest Manufacturing Sector.
