The Federation of Lohjanjarvi Lake is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed population of 970 million Lohjanjarvi Lakeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 53.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Lohjanjarvi Lakean economy, worth 77.1 trillion gambles 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, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 79,475 gambles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Warning signs caution Lohjanjarvi Lakeans where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', some say Leader has gone MAD after authorizing the development of apocalyptic biological weapons, the men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, and legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lohjanjarvi Lake's national animal is the gamble, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lohjanjarvi Lake is ranked 219,120th in the world and 197th in Lakes in Finland for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.74 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
