The Loser State of Loosar is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by John Loosar with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.958 billion Loosars 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Loosarville. The average income tax rate is 8.3%.

The all-consuming Loosar economy, worth 288 trillion Loser bucks a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 97,383 Loser bucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

The barter economy has taken over as the Loser bucks has become worthless, there are six more weeks of winter if a northerner sees his shadow, suburban families are finding themselves increasingly short on food as they waste precious water on their lawns, and giant beards and handlebar moustaches are increasingly popular. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Loosar's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Loosar is ranked 181,316th in the world and 2nd in Useless for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 1,075.16 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
