The Republic of Lost Countries is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 213 million Lost Countriesians 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 Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 23.1%.

The Lost Countriesian economy, worth 10.0 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 47,140 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lost Countries's national animal is the dove.

Lost Countries is ranked 282,849^th in the world and 4^th in Nations That do not Exist for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -31.62 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
