The Allied States of Lost Parasols is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 482 million Lost Parasols are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 44.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The a Lost Parasol economy, worth 19.0 trillion Reins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,360 Reins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, and this year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lost Parasols's national animal is the snail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lost Parasols is ranked 74,814^th in the world and 130^th in KAISERREICH for Most Patriotic, with 18.73 flags saluted per person per day.
