Overview
The United Socialist States of Lost World of Tampons is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by FRANCIS BAKUN with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.417 billion Tamponians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pelanduk City. The average income tax rate is 80.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Lost World of Tamponsian economy, worth 96.8 trillion Tampoons a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 68,301 Tampoons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
The judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, and the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lost World of Tampons's national animal is the Drunken Elk, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
