The Armed Republic of The red lakes is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Martin J Boogie with a fair hand, and remarkable for its fear of technology, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.158 billion reds are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lyndell. The average income tax rate is 22.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving red lakesian economy, worth 78.8 trillion Caps a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 68,083 Caps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months, and the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force. The red lakes's national animal is the Sloth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Stimming.

The red lakes is ranked 62,964^th in the world and 53^rd in The Walbard Union for Safest, scoring 97.85 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
