The Republic of Lothlorania is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, notable for its stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 9.933 billion Lothloranians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 25.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Lothloranian economy, worth 146 trillion rubledollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 14,749 rubledollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, Harry Potter books are banned, and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lothlorania's national animal is the banana duck.

Lothlorania is ranked 29,171^st in the world and 1^st in Lothlorania for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 5,721.11 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
