The State of The Lakehead is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.557 billion Lakeheadians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized, moralistic, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.8%.

The very strong Lakeheadian economy, worth 727 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. Average income is 32,252 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, the government is avowedly atheist, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Lakehead's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The Lakehead is ranked 267,989^th in the world and 8^th in Superior for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.7 kickbacks per hour.
