The Republic of Lothall is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jasper Poulton with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.796 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 81.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lothallian economy, worth 294 trillion credits a year, is quite specialized and 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 an impressive 105,073 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visiting the best Lothallian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, most credits coins are riddled with bite marks, subsistence farmers require doctorates in applied sowing, and citizens who plan overseas vacations are barred from running for political office. 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 16,568^th in the world and 1^st in Nikara for Smartest Citizens, with 74.41 quips per hour.
