The County of Lotarmy is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Count Gallin And Countess Lexie with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, devout population of 15.429 billion Lotarmians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leoken. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Lotarmian economy, worth a remarkable 1,657 trillion loters a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 107,430 loters, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, and it isn't only obsequious grandees who produce a lot of manure at state occasions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lotarmy's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Lotarmy is ranked 33,353^rd in the world and 52^nd in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,309.79 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
