The Theocracy of Lacard 22 is a massive, safe nation, notable for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed population of 2.068 billion Lacard 22ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 26.7%.

The Lacard 22ian economy, worth 99.9 trillion baht a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,310 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Requests for government aid can be forwarded to the beach, planespotters are emigrating in droves, police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, and Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lacard 22's national animal is the leopard, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lacard 22 is ranked 177,928^th in the world and 2^nd in Holy Russia for Highest Average Incomes, with 48,310.78 Standard Monetary Units.
