The Colony of Lake land is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by General Quora Getty with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.712 billion Lake landers are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lake land City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.7%.

The strong Lake lander economy, worth 572 trillion Allowances a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 74,270 Allowances, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 256,558 per year while the poor average 15,724, a ratio of 16.3 to 1.

Most voters struggle to name the Leader of the Opposition, soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, the government seizes all major gold finds, and telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lake land's national animal is the Squidward.

Lake land is ranked 140,616^th in the world and 8^th in Yecyma for Safest, scoring 66.34 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
