The Empire of LBacon is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Glorious Leader Kevin with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.772 billion LBaconians 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baconberg. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient LBaconian economy, worth a remarkable 1,164 trillion Bacon Strips 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. 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 an amazing 201,686 Bacon Strips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Government popup ads are springing up like weeds, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, cogitators and mass debaters are skiving off work to hang around the National Symposium Park, and children are raised bilingual from an early age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LBacon's national animal is the Bacon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

LBacon is ranked 133,485th in the world and 2,778th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 240.0791519048 days.
