The Federal Republic of Lothia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Decima I Sagax with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.15 billion Lothians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tergeste. The average income tax rate is 25.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Lothian economy, worth 108 trillion Pounds 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. 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 94,076 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

One tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it, and a major religion has been named as Lothia's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lothia's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lothia is ranked 64,370^th in the world and 12^th in Esvanovia for Highest Average Incomes, with 94,076.37 Standard Monetary Units.
