The Lemon Fresh Scent

The Holy Empire of The Lemon Fresh Scent is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 340 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The large, pro-business government is mainly concerned with Defence, although Education and Law & Order are on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Automobile Manufacturing.

The government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, and nude art is becoming wildly popular. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. The Lemon Fresh Scent's national animal is the mighty oak, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the six pound lead bar.
