The Republic of Lamba-desh is a very large, safe nation, ruled by Ekam with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 291 million Lamba-deshis, 277 million of whom are zombies, have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Acotrol - Administrative city of the ROL. The average income tax rate is 35.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Lamba-deshian economy, worth 111 trillion Lamdas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 108,187 Lamdas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ekam has been nicknamed 'Robomop', Ekam's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, and politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lamba-desh's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Lamba-desh is ranked 29,056^th in the world and 546^th in the South Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,000.32 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
