The Grand Tea Party of Lordeh is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Clyde Frog with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed population of 15.779 billion Buddies have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Education, although Defense, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, 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 43.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Buddy economy, worth a remarkable 5,072 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 321,447 Snacks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

New arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark, women no longer need to pepper conversations with incessant references to fictitious husbands, money grows on trees, and political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm. 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 1,561^st in the world and 53^rd in the Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 244,150.52 Standard Monetary Units.
