The OverEmpire of Loptous is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by OverEmperor Arvis with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, zero percent divorce rate, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.804 billion Grannvaliens enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal government is primarily concerned with Healthcare, with Education, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Welfare and Public Transport aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belhalla. The average income tax rate is 5.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Grannvalien economy, worth a remarkable 1,531 trillion Gold Pieces a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 129,742 Gold Pieces, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many mayors are barely in office before being kicked out for minor parking violations, the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", conversion therapy coupons are a popular present for coming of age ceremonies, and reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Loptous's national animal is the Earth Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The Loptryian Cult.

Loptous is ranked 4,181^st in the world and 87^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 11,228.2 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
