The Rhinestone Eyes of Lethodus is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Dax Skollvaldr with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, complete lack of prisons, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.121 billion Daxolotls 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 government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saffron City. The average income tax rate is 38.6%.

The thriving Daxtastic economy, worth 777 trillion Piano Keys 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, quite specialized black market in Gambling, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 64,148 Piano Keys, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The banshee wail foretells skies of death, graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', children entertain themselves by throwing rocks through the windows of world-class museums, and international trade can be a pain to deal with. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Lethodus's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Cilantroism.

Lethodus is ranked 225,535^th in the world and 150^th in Refugia for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -4.43 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
