The Democratic States of Lodgi is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Cecil King with a fair hand, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.369 billion Lodgians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rixen. The average income tax rate is 36.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Lodgian economy, worth 460 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,291 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, cleaners are very careful not to bump into the big red button on Cecil King's desk, and 9 out of 10 consumers think that vitamins can cure cancer. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lodgi's national animal is the Monkeh, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lodgi is ranked 89,822^nd in the world and 73^rd in Bozarkia for Most Developed, scoring 64.16 on the Human Development Index.
