The Republic of Lointland is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Stewie Griffin with an even hand, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.796 billion Lointians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Verdanna. The average income tax rate is 46.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Lointian economy, worth 150 trillion Loint Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,834 Loint Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ill and injured visitors in Lointland have to walk it off until they return home, picnickers are lucky if a few wasps are the only animals that trouble them, demand for night vision goggles and boat engine mufflers has spiked, and running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lointland's national animal is the Loint Tigers, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lointland is ranked 54,113^th in the world and 2,624^th in The East Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 58.36 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
