The Disputed Territories of LOTR is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical, devout population of 12.529 billion LOTRians 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 58.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped LOTRian economy, worth 401 trillion coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 32,079 coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, euthanasia is illegal, Harry Potter books are banned, and elections have been outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LOTR's national animal is the animal.

LOTR is ranked 122,949^th in the world and 2^nd in Middle Earth Roleplay for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
