The Disheveled Habit of Lieutenant Columbo is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lieutenant Columbo with a fair hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion and suspicion of poets. The democratic population of 17.959 billion lieutenants enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of LAPD Homicide Department. The average income tax rate is 48.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong rumpled economy, worth 856 trillion cigars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,690 cigars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Taking hostages is a great way to influence government policy, tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and veterans are directed into environmental cleanup operations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lieutenant Columbo's national animal is the Basset hound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is admiring nice houses.

Lieutenant Columbo is ranked 112,197^th in the world and 2,099^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 2,743.99 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
