The Democratic States of Lodgi is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Cecil King with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.459 billion Lodgians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rixen. The average income tax rate is 36.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Lodgian economy, worth 466 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,291 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, cleaners are very careful not to bump into the big red button on Cecil King's desk, and 9 out of 10 consumers think that vitamins can cure cancer. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lodgi's national animal is the Monkeh, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lodgi is ranked 106,922^nd in the world and 187^th in Bozarkia for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,328.06 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
