The State of Lottu is a titanic, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.706 billion Lottuans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The very strong Lottuan economy, worth a remarkable 1,400 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 61,662 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 181,728 per year while the poor average 16,463, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and all tariffs have been abolished. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lottu's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lottu is ranked 120,306^th in the world and 1^st in Lisboa for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,709.29 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
