The Empire of Lawton555 is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 327 million Lawtonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 30.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Lawton555ian economy, worth 24.1 trillion American Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Trout Farming. Average income is 73,587 American Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, engaged partners detail their fiancés' private lives in detail to prurient bureaucrats, and interest in globalism never flags. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lawton555's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lawton555 is ranked 228,099^th in the world and 1^st in THE GREAT AMERICAN EMPIRE for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 179.07 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
