The Armed Republic of Lotoarea is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by President Garrett Davids with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.639 billion Lotoareans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lotosite. The average income tax rate is 70.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Lotoarean economy, worth 975 trillion lotollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 146,986 lotollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government has ordered a moratorium on referenda, the well-to-do in Kavonia are never on time for important appointments, President Garrett Davids shrugs in the face of growing inequalities, and playing card suits are sold separately. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lotoarea's national animal is the sheep, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Lotoarea is ranked 24,259^th in the world and 1^st in Kavonia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,910.06 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
