The Dictatorship of Lorderia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Your Most Excellent Supreme Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, prohibition of alcohol, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.452 billion Lorderians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lorderia City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Lorderian economy, worth 198 trillion Dorians a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,391 Dorians, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

There has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, garden stores are not allowed to sell water butts, and indigenous tribal elders can be recognised by their designer watches and expensive suits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lorderia's national animal is the Lawton, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Dearest Supreme Leaderism.

Lorderia is ranked 20,077^th in the world and 22^nd in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,134.41 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
