The State of Lohlunat is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 16.804 billion Lohlunatians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Lohlunatian economy, worth 347 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 20,664 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and a large concrete wall is being built around the country's borders. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lohlunat's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lohlunat is ranked 88,914^th in the world and 1^st in Australia Commonwealth for Most Patriotic, with 16.33 flags saluted per person per day.
