The Republic of Lakitchia is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Thomas Fletcher with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed population of 6.28 billion Lakitchians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Howlett. The average income tax rate is 41.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lakitchian economy, worth 824 trillion Laks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 131,277 Laks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scrapyards are filled with Prime Minister Thomas Fletcher's face, ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack, the taste of spices can sail a thousand ships, and crops are flattened as farmers bludgeon insects to death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lakitchia's national animal is the Red Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Lakitchia is ranked 321,011^th in the world and 249^th in Empire of Great Britain for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.92 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
