The Commonwealth of Lolteve is a large, pleasant nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 62 million Lolteveans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 9.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Loltevean economy, worth 3.38 trillion murns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 54,530 murns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The right to free speech is being drastically curtailed, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, nudity is frowned upon, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Lolteve's national animal is the coyote, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lolteve is ranked 109,608^th in the world and 291^st in Refugia for Most Income Equality, scoring 35.37 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
