The Ragdoll of La Theophanie is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, prohibition of alcohol, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.562 billion La Theophanieans 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.6%.

The strong La Theophaniean economy, worth 844 trillion Yen 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 67,231 Yen, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, political gridlock ensues as even the most innocuous legislation is vetoed by the Supreme Court for potential civil rights violations, the parliament building has installed a revolving door, and travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. La Theophanie's national animal is the Dog.

La Theophanie is ranked 68,474^th in the world and 444^th in Artificial Solar System for Most Patriotic, with 20.57 flags saluted per person per day.
