The Shadow Queendom of Lady Lamashtu is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lamashtu with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 1.894 billion Lamashtuans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Babylon. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Lady Lamashtuan economy, worth 20.5 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 10,820 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens re-mortgage their homes to buy lottery tickets, an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse, visions of giant pink tigers are a common side effect after Lamashtuans eat their meals, and the little guy plays a big role in Lady Lamashtuan politics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lady Lamashtu's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lady Lamashtu is ranked 245,623rd in the world and 4,423rd in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.14 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
