The Lazy Lumps of Lazulite is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Minas Gerais with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 23.219 billion Lazuliteans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Styria. The average income tax rate is 91.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Lazulitean economy, worth a remarkable 5,093 trillion Lasers a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 219,349 Lasers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Cave paintings are back in vogue, basketball players are sick and tired of the court, airship use has soared while property values beneath their routes have plummeted, and bedknobs and broomsticks are often seen flying through the air. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lazulite's national animal is the Limpet, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cynicism.

Lazulite is ranked 2,058^th in the world and 5^th in Medio for Largest Black Market, with 4,784 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
