The Principality of Space Lasers is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The quiet, industrious population of 4.706 billion Space Lasersians 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 26.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Space Lasersian economy, worth 161 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,350 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
