The Natural Protectorate of Lokoxa is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by High Conservationist Illium with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.387 billion Lokoxans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Margaid. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Lokoxan economy, worth 119 trillion Marzis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 35,280 Marzis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scummy-looking teenagers outside government buildings sell bureaucrats spoofed ShortTok accounts, there's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, and businesses are required to round down their profits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lokoxa's national animal is the Hoatzin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lokoxa is ranked 17,610^th in the world and 74^th in the Outback for Nicest Citizens, with 23.8 average smiles per day.
