The Republic of Lendahand

The Republic of Lendahand is a large, safe nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate population of 36 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level social equality free of the usual accompanying government corruption.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass -- devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 44%, but much higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.
Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, voting is voluntary, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and same-sex marriages are increasingly common. Crime is totally unknown. Lendahand's national animal is the egret, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the barter voucher.
Lendahand is ranked 1637th in the region and 36,686th in the world for Healthiest Nations.
