The Republic of Lothall is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jasper Poulton with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.635 billion Lothallians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital City. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Lothallian economy, worth 263 trillion credits a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 99,887 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, the most popular WhoTube videos are ones featuring parodies of iconic songs, and children are expected to carve their own toys. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lothall's national animal is the lothwolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lothall is ranked 234,070^th in the world and 3^rd in Nikara for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -2.53 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
