The Kingdom of Lapody is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, keen interest in outer space, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.574 billion Lapodyians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, 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 Albiga. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.1%.

The all-consuming Lapodyian economy, worth 278 trillion Talers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 108,349 Talers, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

The lactose-intolerant are force-fed cheese products with predictably gassy results, the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, and the 'sing-a-long with Leader' album is a popular souvenir. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lapody's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Lapody is ranked 105,371^st in the world and 10^th in IxWiki for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 241.03 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
