The Queendom of Lacie is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.381 billion Humans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The thriving Human economy, worth 220 trillion Coins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 65,297 Coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 231,132 per year while the poor average 13,319, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lacie's national animal is the Depression, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lacie is ranked 91,509^th in the world and 1^st in ScuffiaProjectia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 34.95 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
