The Empire of LBacon is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Glorious Leader Kevin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, feral children, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.872 billion LBaconians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baconberg. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient LBaconian economy, worth a remarkable 1,191 trillion Bacon Strips a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 202,963 Bacon Strips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The countryside is shrouded by wind farms, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, and escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LBacon's national animal is the Bacon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

LBacon is ranked 6,506th in the world and 395th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 110.25 law-abiding acts per hour.
