The Protectorate of Labolas is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 587 million Labolasians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gehenna. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.0%.

The powerhouse Labolasian economy, worth 47.5 trillion Sols a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 80,947 Sols, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 239,315 per year while the poor average 21,516, a ratio of 11.1 to 1.

Daisy chain gangs plant flowers and pick up litter, Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Gehenna to enjoy their national art, weird or unusual crimes merit cruel and unusual punishments, and ship captains always order a return to port at the slightest sign of rain. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Labolas's national animal is the Winged Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Labolas is ranked 297,381st in the world and 15,990th in Osiris for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 88.89 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
