The Empire of Logstren is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its national health service and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 10 million Logstrenians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 26.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Logstrenian economy, worth 610 billion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 61,075 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, exterminator companies deploy nerve gas in turf wars, doctors are in shock as hospitals go into cardiac arrest, and at customs baggage gets an x-ray and female travelers get an ultrasound. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Logstren's national animal is the bee, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Logstren is ranked 104,593^rd in the world and 700^th in the Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 11,221.38 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
