The Protectorate of Lamehk is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lorkahn Malus with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 28.591 billion Lamehkens enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vaulkhar. The average income tax rate is 75.1%.

The all-consuming Lamehkian economy, worth a remarkable 5,824 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 203,714 Imperial Credits, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

City budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, both illness and poverty are seen as signs of low moral worth, only Lorkahn Malus's friends count in the eyes of the government, and it is a silent spring in Lamehk. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lamehk's national animal is the Manticore, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atheism.

Lamehk is ranked 18,065^th in the world and 21^st in Gholgoth for Smartest Citizens, with 65.98 quips per hour.
