The Safe Paradise of Lacral is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Electoral Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 5.987 billion Lacralians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palonkak. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Lacralian economy, worth 830 trillion Lacral Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 138,675 Lacral Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, saying 'Hi Guys' to a mixed gender group of people at work is a fireable offense, left-wing militias train children how to properly burn down banks, and government employees from Lacral dominate international lumberjack competitions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lacral's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Kindism.

Lacral is ranked 280,225^th in the world and 1,125^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -11.58 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
