The Federal Republic of Lolder is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by its Chancellor with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 29.291 billion Lolderians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corbenic. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lolderian economy, worth a remarkable 4,216 trillion Loldollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,938 Loldollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Dictators have dubbed Lolder the land of lunatics, businessmen behave differently if their supervisor is watching, the government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter, and owning a fishing rod can cause you to be subject to military questioning. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lolder's national animal is the Scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Theory of Evolution.

Lolder is ranked 4,632^nd in the world and 6^th in International Northwestern Union for Longest Average Lifespans, with 93.02 years.
