The Queendom of Dluighinleigh is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 473 million hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although the Environment and Social Equality are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 82%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, bizarre-looking creatures called 'Okapidogs' dominate wildlife preserves, the capital of Dluighinleigh has burned to the ground and caused riots throughout the country, and the police have been reduced to using duct tape instead of handcuffs following further cutbacks. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a serious problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Dluighinleigh's national animal is the Okapi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Dluigh.
We rock. Slightly.
