The Republic of Lopesya is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 75 million Lopesyans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.5%.

The very strong Lopesyan economy, worth 4.05 trillion Lopars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 53,945 Lopars, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Political candidates must be personally vetted by Leader, the government is proudly free of crabs, Lopesyans submit requests for a date in writing with an enclosed RSVP card, and eating kids as food has been enshrined in law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lopesya's national animal is the Black Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lopesya is ranked 182,114^th in the world and 2,430^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 54.04 on the Hayek Index.
