The Eternal Land of Loutsland is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Arthur with an iron fist, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, ritual sacrifices, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.99 billion Loutslanders are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crescent. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Loutslandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,533 trillion Golds a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Furniture Restoration, Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 321,477 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade, governments opposing Loutsland are beset by rebels, punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, and Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Loutsland. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Loutsland's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Loutslandian Church.

Loutsland is ranked 47,150th in the world and 1,503rd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 155.54 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
