The Republic of Low Meadows is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Karl Loll with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 25.845 billion Low Meadowsians 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, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Great Bend. The average income tax rate is 6.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Low Meadowsian economy, worth a remarkable 3,523 trillion Kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 136,330 Kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Lines of trenches demarcate the nation's borders, the Low Meadowsian Babysitters Club has proven to be a huge relief to stressed-out parents across the nation, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, and cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Low Meadows's national animal is the Osprey, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Low Meadows is ranked 92,630th in the world and 35th in Middle Earth for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
