The Commonwealth of Laqihhasot Fort is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.458 billion Laqihhasot Fortians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Laqihhasot Fortian economy, worth 578 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,935 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The request to "give us our daily bread" can only be fulfilled six days out of seven, renewable energy projects have ground to a halt, retiring citizens are dragged away in the middle of the night by mysterious men in black suits, and binoculars sales are at an all-time high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laqihhasot Fort's national animal is the snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Laqihhasot Fort is ranked 218,330th in the world and 8,355th in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.54 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
