The Mischievous Meerkats of Lordieth is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lord Lordieth with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 29.75 billion Lordiethians 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 tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mystica. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Lordiethian economy, worth an astonishing 10,126 trillion Sheckles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 340,396 Sheckles, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and discarded pennies litter the streets. Crime is totally unknown. Lordieth's national animal is the Meerkat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lordieth is ranked 517^th in the world and 1^st in Snazzy for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 19,680.34 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
