The State of LOA is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.238 billion LOAians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Environment, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 36.9%.

The LOAian economy, worth 804 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 26,597 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. LOA's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

LOA is ranked 294,484^th in the world and 1^st in Nightwatch for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 190.69 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
