The Holy Vristic Got Slimed Out of Lesser Kargon is a massive, genial nation, notable for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.22 billion Lesser Kargonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 48.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Lesser Kargonian economy, worth 117 trillion kronor a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,762 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Children as young as six shock their parents by coming out of the closet, internet sites are legally unable to stop their users from posting pornography, political commentators say that Leader's fruitcake plans are about to go pear-shaped, and the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lesser Kargon's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lesser Kargon is ranked 302,873^rd in the world and 57^th in Goninan for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -7.27 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
