The Oppressed Peoples of Lalapooza is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Princess Merlyna with an iron fist, and renowned for its restrictive gun laws. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 942 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of lalapoliz. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Tourism and Book Publishing.
A ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless, college students sell their most valuable possessions just to afford pizza, and citizens are frequently searched for illegal weapons. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Lalapooza's national animal is the lapoozger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the pooza.
Lalapooza is ranked 221st in the region and 6,328th in the world for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector.
