The United Socialist States of Lobroynia is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 220 million Lobroynians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Lobroynian economy, worth 5.81 trillion Lobrons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Tourism. Average income is 26,397 Lobrons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Homes have been banned from having any more than one wheel, the nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide, arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, and invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lobroynia's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lobroynia is ranked 123,827th in the world and 65th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Conservative, scoring 64.36 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
