The Dictatorship of Lashvinkof is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 238 million Lashvinkofians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 32.0%.

The strong Lashvinkofian economy, worth 11.4 trillion Dutas a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 47,913 Dutas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

When flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", racehorses move a lot slower these days, and it's entirely possible foreign diplomats misheard when Lashvinkof offered the words "peace be upon you". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lashvinkof's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lashvinkof is ranked 154,228^th in the world and 8,284^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
