The Democratic Socialist State of Lades is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Thomas Horthy with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, otherworldly petting zoo, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 5.226 billion Ladions are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ladea. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ladian economy, worth 684 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 131,023 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Medical staff can legally quiet people who ask for a second helping of Salisbury steak, diplomacy is a foreign concept to Ladions, autocrats are persona non grata, and the true length of the coastline of Lades may never be measured. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lades's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Diplodocusiam.

Lades is ranked 186,738^th in the world and 111^th in Kantrias for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 131.39 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
