The State of Lohlunat is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 16.763 billion Lohlunatians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Lohlunatian economy, worth 346 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 20,664 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and a large concrete wall is being built around the country's borders. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lohlunat's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lohlunat is ranked 64,903rd in the world and 2nd in Australia Commonwealth for Safest, scoring 97.38 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
