The Free Land of Lobstone is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Sr Lagosta with an even hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.502 billion Lobstonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lagostal. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Lobstonian economy, worth 588 trillion Paus a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 78,380 Paus, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience, textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be, sweat stains are proof of political acumen, and anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lobstone's national animal is the Lobster, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The Lobster Cult.

Lobstone is ranked 196,815^th in the world and 79^th in Portugal for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
