The Awesome Cosmo of Lowe is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Lowenid Brezhnev with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.449 billion Loweans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lowetopia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The powerhouse Lowean economy, worth 585 trillion Cosmic Pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 90,787 Cosmic Pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 437,743 per year while the poor average 10,953, a ratio of 40.0 to 1.

The name of the "Butcher of Bigtopia" adorns shirts across Lowe, anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, for just a few extra Cosmic Pounds Loweans can get new driving records with their new cars, and bitter pastors forced to officiate gay marriage 'accidentally' pronounce couples "husband and abomination". Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lowe's national animal is the Lowe Biden, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lowe is ranked 129,923^rd in the world and 2^nd in Lowes for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 80.93 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
