The Vector to the Heavens of Lethodus is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Capt'n Domino with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, state-planned economy, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.022 billion Daxolotls 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saffron City. The average income tax rate is 35.0%.

The thriving Daxtastic economy, worth 380 trillion Piano Keys 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Gambling, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. 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 63,202 Piano Keys, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, wheelchair-enabled paratroopers need access ramps to get onto planes but not off them, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, and dessert dishes make up the Daxtastic breakfast menu. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Lethodus's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Cilantroism.

Lethodus is ranked 233,886^th in the world and 416^th in Refugia for Least Corrupt Governments, with 83.2 percentage of bribes refused.
