The Dragon States of Lois is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lois Lane with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 29.937 billion Loisians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central City. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Loisian economy, worth 969 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 32,396 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians live in luxury, Dragonism has been named as Lois's national religion, Lois Lane has just been declared ruler of Lois in an international press conference, and Lois has designated Central City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lois's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dragonism.

Lois is ranked 288,464^th in the world and 2^nd in Nya for Highest Average Incomes, with 32,396.79 Standard Monetary Units.
