The Republic of Lhanjezrinia is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.897 billion Lhanjezrinians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 12.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lhanjezrinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,680 trillion Evil Dollars 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 243,703 Evil Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The decision to be oppressed is now made democratically, building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, asking 'a penny for your thoughts?' draws law enforcement response, and glamping Lhanjezrinians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lhanjezrinia's national animal is the Dodo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lhanjezrinia is ranked 288,081st in the world and 97th in Worlds of Colors for Safest, scoring 4.49 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
