The Kingdom of Land of the Sexy Beasts is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 568 million 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Defence, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of El bano. The average income tax rate is 47%, but much higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Cheese Exports industries.

Ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties, a recent political debate came to a quick close once the ruling party decreed it was "just plain silly", the government spends millions of Potatoe Chips every year prosecuting spammers, and politicians are to be found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Land of the Sexy Beasts's national animal is the Lemur, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Potatoe Chip.

Land of the Sexy Beasts is ranked 7th in Mascasa and 87,650th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
