The State of Lapid is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 32.074 billion Lapidians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The very strong Lapidian economy, worth a remarkable 1,670 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. Average income is 52,080 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 354,083 per year while the poor average 2,798, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Lapid's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, a major religion has been named as Lapid's national religion, and Lapid has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Lapid's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lapid is ranked 87,107^th in the world and 81^st in State for Highest Food Quality, scoring 28.15 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
