The Territorial Area of Lightoller Range is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.569 billion Lightoller Rangeans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.2%.

The strong Lightoller Rangean economy, worth 123 trillion Territorial Dollars 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. 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 78,635 Territorial Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Government popup ads are springing up like weeds, the government baselessly accuses foreign dignitaries of being assassins, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, and the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lightoller Range's national animal is the Territorial Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lightoller Range is ranked 236,880^th in the world and 3^rd in Lights for Nicest Citizens, with 8.23 average smiles per day.
