The Trade Federation of Lastovipol is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chief Executor Octavius Del Monte with an even hand, and renowned for its closed borders, museums and concert halls, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 12.138 billion Lastovipolians 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 tiny, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Defense, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quinolapif. The average income tax rate is 3.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Lastovipolian economy, worth a remarkable 5,177 trillion Pence a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 426,526 Pence, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

It is against the rules of boxing to hit above or below the belt, no cul-de-sac or trailer park is complete without a gambling parlor, the government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, and schoolchildren's "what I did on my holidays" essays tend to be somewhat homogeneous. Crime is totally unknown. Lastovipol's national animal is the Boar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Neoconism.

Lastovipol is ranked 1,673^rd in the world and 1^st in Lair of the Dragon for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 8,497.39 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
