The Eternal Land of Loutsland is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Arthur with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.99 billion Loutslanders 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crescent. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Loutslandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,522 trillion Golds a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Furniture Restoration, Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 320,561 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, the police double as repo men, male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness', and most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Loutsland's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Loutslandian Church.

Loutsland is ranked 47,387th in the world and 1,509th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 154.98 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
