The Empire of Lord Snake is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Snake with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, ritual sacrifices, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 9.208 billion Lord Snakeans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Spirituality, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snaketown. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.0%.

The very strong Lord Snakean economy, worth 649 trillion Hisses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 70,509 Hisses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 234,679 per year while the poor average 15,785, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Children who believe in the tooth fairy are frequently shipped off to Bigtopia, high-tech infantry rifles automatically reload when the soldier shoots outside the screen of their helmet HUD, serial killers share cells with serial jaywalkers, and one lone government employee can be seen hunting for the elusive stray white dog. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force. Lord Snake's national animal is the Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Snakery.

Lord Snake is ranked 50,504^th in the world and 14^th in Mum for Largest Populations, with 9.21 billion capita.
