The Kingdom of Lokarth is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Der Caudillo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.261 billion Lokarthians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karth. The average income tax rate is 38.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Lokarthian economy, worth a remarkable 3,166 trillion Loks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 238,787 Loks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.
Manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, alcoholics are lauded as national benefactors within the halls of the Ministry of Finance, in a fit of passion Der Caudillo has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lokarth's national animal is the Direwolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.
Lokarth is ranked 8,973rd in the world and 577th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 102.77 law-abiding acts per hour.
