The Republic of Lamba-desh is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Ekam with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 993 million Lamba-deshis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Acotrol - Administrative city of the ROL. The average income tax rate is 33.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Lamba-deshian economy, worth 106 trillion Lamdas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 106,769 Lamdas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is proudly free of crabs, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, the government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, and banning party poppers has been a real party pooper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lamba-desh's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Lamba-desh is ranked 32,479^th in the world and 660^th in the South Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 54.27 quips per hour.
