The Theocracy of Lowlamb is a large, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 160 million Ikhael 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 Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 29.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Ikhaeli economy, worth 8.89 trillion belshivs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 55,563 belshivs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Children are strong-armed by police into eating their greens, commuters often break into synchronised para-para dancing for no reason at all, the government is attempting to impose a new national language on the public, and many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lowlamb's national animal is the lamb, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lowlamb is ranked 102,579^th in the world and 2^nd in Ideal for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,795.38 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
