The Federal Republic of Great Lothian is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Chancellor Wilson with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, prohibition of alcohol, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 1.252 billion Great Lothianians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edinburgh. The average income tax rate is 72.9%.

The all-consuming Great Lothianian economy, worth 93.7 trillion Marks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,805 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers, farmers have taken to hunting billionaires who encroach on their land, the nation's declaring that sharing nukes is caring, and citizens must have a license to operate a computer. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Lothian's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Protestant.

Great Lothian is ranked 294^th in the world and 37^th in the South Pacific for Most World Assembly Endorsements, with 343 valid endorsements.
