The Grand Tea Party of Lordeh is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Clyde Frog with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed population of 15.909 billion Buddies are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shi Tpa Town. The average income tax rate is 47.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Buddy economy, worth a remarkable 5,153 trillion Snacks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 323,918 Snacks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, there is no other place with more lab coats per square mile than former houses of worship, young people crowd pizza parlors praying to 'The Supreme Pizza, His Immaculate Munchiness', and citizens are required to report any and all incidents of prayer to their local Religious Affairs Officer. Crime is totally unknown. Lordeh's national animal is the Clyde Frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Scientology.

Lordeh is ranked 2,107th in the world and 79th in the Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 794.86 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
