The Sovereignity of Loftegen is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Lady with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.385 billion 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 is mainly concerned with Defence, although Education and Law & Order are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Altenburg. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Tourism and Arms Manufacturing.

Citizens who become homeless are immediately executed, children deemed 'disorderly' or otherwise unfit for public schools are shipped off to military academies, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, and a National Academy regulates grammar and usage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Loftegen's national animal is the black ram, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the byte.

Loftegen is ranked 2,436th in Lazarus and 76,483rd in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 9 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
