The Federation of Lopancres is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12.956 billion Lopancresians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.1%.

The very strong Lopancresian economy, worth 630 trillion francs a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 48,678 francs, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lopancres's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lopancres is ranked 15,503^rd in the world and 1^st in Ribe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,537.08 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
