The Empire of LBacon is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Glorious Leader Kevin with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.949 billion LBaconians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, 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 Baconberg. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient LBaconian economy, worth a remarkable 1,207 trillion Bacon Strips 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. 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 amazing 202,924 Bacon Strips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, and travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LBacon's national animal is the Bacon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

LBacon is ranked 9,285^th in the world and 544^th in Lazarus for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,665.52 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
