The Weirdly-named Paradise of LAZOR EATER is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by some guy with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.48 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the people. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The government now pays the "Really Awesome Super Heroes" (RASH) to catch evildoers, hunters have been known to lose limbs while attempting to 'play tag' with their prey, the government is avowedly atheist, and abortions are routinely performed in LAZOR EATER's hospitals. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. LAZOR EATER's national animal is the heavily armed snail, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is self-determinism, and its currency is the valuable secret.

LAZOR EATER is ranked 1st in The Allied Republics and 725th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 21 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
