The Kelipatu of Lassistan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Siah Seiitanutin I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.49 billion Mirumenis are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serangoon. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Mirumenis economy, worth 782 trillion Rupiahs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 174,372 Rupiahs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, the government maintains that belief brings greater security than money or a roof, ship captains always order a return to port at the slightest sign of rain, and promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lassistan's national animal is the Nagatakan, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sunni Islam.

Lassistan is ranked 289,491st in the world and 387th in Refugia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 2,789.97 Standard Monetary Units.
