The State of Lo is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.902 billion Loans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 8.2%.

The strong Loan economy, worth 851 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. Average income is 71,529 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, and Lo has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Lo's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lo is ranked 184,320^th in the world and 36^th in Omega Prime for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.07 law-abiding acts per hour.
