The Republic of Lamba-desh is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Ekam with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 919 million Lamba-deshis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Acotrol - Administrative city of the ROL. The average income tax rate is 27.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Lamba-deshian economy, worth 95.3 trillion Lamdas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 103,743 Lamdas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A sudden shout of "surprise!" does not herald a party for teachers, scientists take credit every time it rains in the South Pacific, couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material', and visitors often mistake the toiletplex at music festivals for the main stage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lamba-desh's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Lamba-desh is ranked 15,099^th in the world and 276^th in the South Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 7,228.22 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
