The Kingdom of Neo-Lesotho is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its daily referendums, public floggings, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.413 billion Neo-Lesothoans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 54.0%.

The powerhouse Neo-Lesothoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,098 trillion Lesotho Lotis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,507 Lesotho Lotis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, and foreign lack of enthusiasm for Neo-Lesothoan nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neo-Lesotho's national animal is the Black Rhino, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Neo-Lesotho is ranked 81,689th in the world and 1,066th in Herta Space Station for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.29 law-abiding acts per hour.
