The Republic of Lolingia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Ojisan with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.505 billion Lolingians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moe. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Lolingian economy, worth 313 trillion lolis a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 208,377 lolis, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.
Many former slaves are finding out there is such a thing as a free lunch, the leading national news source is 'my cousin Billy-Bob on MyFace', former slaves find themselves being herded onto ships once more, and every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lolingia's national animal is the loli, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Eugenics.
Lolingia is ranked 69,540th in the world and 2nd in Holy Utopian Empire for Nudest, with 191.5 cheeks per square mile.
