The Unitarian State of Lodhs beard is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by VID Frederick Malkin with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, public floggings, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 14.123 billion Loddhists are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Lodhinburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Lodhs beardian economy, worth a remarkable 5,628 trillion Loddhist Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 398,552 Loddhist Pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,669,928 per year while the poor average 61,908, a ratio of 27.0 to 1.

Fraternities are rejoicing at government-subsidized partying, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, and the nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lodhs beard's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lodhs beard is ranked 89,844^th in the world and 4,792^nd in Lazarus for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,277.57 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
