The Imperial Republic of Lawithon is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Borinton with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.891 billion Lawithonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Constantinople. The average income tax rate is 88.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lawithonian economy, worth 730 trillion Lawithon Marks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,285 Lawithon Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many politicians are having to do a hard day's work for the first time in their careers, directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Constantinople as a backdrop, birth rates have hit an all-time low, and prodigal children celebrate as charitable bequests plummet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lawithon's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Lawithon is ranked 124,535^th in the world and 73^rd in Cape of Good Hope for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 799.99 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
