The Colony of Lake Nipigon is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.433 billion Lake Nipigonians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The strong Lake Nipigonian economy, worth 69.2 trillion aurum gold bars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 48,310 aurum gold bars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 311,365 per year while the poor average 3,028, a ratio of 102 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry and a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lake Nipigon's national animal is the bovina buffalo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lake Nipigon is ranked 312,530^th in the world and 1^st in Lake Nipigon for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -8.94 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
