The Nomadic Peoples of Lokelani is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Popo Niu with a fair hand, and remarkable for its fear of technology, ban on automobiles, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.82 billion Lokelanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, although Environment, Administration, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of coconut cream. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The all-consuming Lokelanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,224 trillion shells a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 77,388 shells, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 272,487 per year while the poor average 15,913, a ratio of 17.1 to 1.

Frequent broken zippers have resulted in safety pins making a fashion comeback, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, and boot polish is the favourite lip gloss of entry-level corporate workers. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Lokelani's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Lokelani is ranked 60,335th in the world and 9th in Krillin for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,967.33 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
