The Fox Inquisitor of East Lodge is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Aura with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 851 million East Lodgeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of West Colony. The average income tax rate is 17.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming East Lodgean economy, worth 96.6 trillion Diamond Zalrecs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 113,491 Diamond Zalrecs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The Treasury Minister takes anxiety medication every time kids lose their sports kits, the weather is the nation's most risqué topic of conversation, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, and citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Lodge's national animal is the Zoo Human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

East Lodge is ranked 39,984^th in the world and 1,217^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 2,652.73 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
