The Armed Republic of Lollipop is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Lollycop with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.098 billion Lollipopians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lollipop City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Lollipopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,651 trillion Lollipops a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 102,595 Lollipops, with the richest citizens earning 9.7 times as much as the poorest.

Requests to "pass the salt" are supported by tank divisions, zombie-like crowds of hard drug users stumble through the streets, the standard government reply to any query is "there is no spoon", and all writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lollipop's national animal is the Puppy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lollipop is ranked 250,274^th in the world and 40^th in Anime for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -22 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
