The Tsarist Commune of Lodhs beard is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Imperator Lodh with an iron fist, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, complete lack of prisons, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.694 billion Lodhs beardians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Lodhinburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Lodhs beardian economy, worth a remarkable 1,079 trillion Roubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 292,310 Roubles, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Inheritance tax has recently been abolished, mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, adult unemployment is rising as available jobs are filled by young children, and pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lodhs beard's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Loddhism.

Lodhs beard is ranked 13,431^st in the world and 163^rd in Europe for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 21.41 Bank.
