The Colony of Lacard 25 is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.237 billion Lacard 25ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 22.7%.

The Lacard 25ian economy, worth 131 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,537 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign diplomats return home twice the men they once were, 'Foxnado 6: You Gotta Be Kidding Me' is this summer's top-grossing movie, the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, and the inchworm that measured the marigolds is six feet under. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lacard 25's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lacard 25 is ranked 241,011^th in the world and 117^th in Darkest Skies for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 841.38 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
