The Celestial Empire of Lovable Alien Overlord is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by God Himself with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, aversion to nipples, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 12.157 billion Aliens are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moon Base Beta. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Lovable Alien Overlordian economy, worth a remarkable 4,461 trillion Probes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 366,968 Probes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,425,151 per year while the poor average 3,454, a ratio of 991 to 1.

People of faith are sent to twelve-step programs for 'The Cure', schoolyard sandboxes resemble ashtrays due to the large number of cigarette butts, blessed are the meek for they have been beaten into submission, and commuter vessels have trouble staying afloat due to increased passengers. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Lovable Alien Overlord's national animal is the human slave, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Cult of the Mothership.

Lovable Alien Overlord is ranked 294,082nd in the world and 11,258th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 2.42 law-abiding acts per hour.
