The Kingdom of Lapody is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, national health service, and lack of airports. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.117 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 Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Albiga. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Lapodyian economy, worth 346 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, Beef-Based Agriculture, 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 110,928 Talers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 337,834 per year while the poor average 28,268, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

A law degree is required before telling people not to drink and drive, residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants, "Darwin's Disease" is a growing cause of death, and politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them. Crime, especially youth-related, 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 55,226^th in the world and 3^rd in IxWiki for Highest Average Incomes, with 110,928.35 Standard Monetary Units.
