The Republic of Longingland is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Nikolai Rasmussen with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and digital currency. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 7.271 billion Longwegians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hammerhal. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Longwegian economy, worth 739 trillion Kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 101,644 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has declared war on all passing comets, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and the government's new 'Crime Can Fight Itself' policy appears to be backfiring rather badly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Longingland's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of the United.

Longingland is ranked 39,474^th in the world and 132^nd in Forest for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 70.56 Effective Tax Rate.
