The Republic of Eastern Bobuhan Lortord is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, disturbing lack of elderly people, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.409 billion Eastern Bobuhan Lortordians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 47.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Eastern Bobuhan Lortordian economy, worth 662 trillion rubles 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 impressive 122,485 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar, military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, frightened witnesses and seriously ill jurors wear the same handcuffs as the defendant, and the government is flooded with compensation requests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern Bobuhan Lortord's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Eastern Bobuhan Lortord is ranked 266,684th in the world and 9,903rd in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 6.98 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
