The Protectorate of Loredashi is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 282 million Loredashians 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 Welfare, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 22.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Loredashian economy, worth 14.7 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,962 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and recent events in Dàguó have been classified 'for Leader's eyes only'. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Loredashi's national animal is the emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Loredashi is ranked 227,007^th in the world and 441^st in Starlight for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
