The Commonwealth of The Lazarite Technocracy is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.029 billion Lazarites are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Askar. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Lazarite Technocracyian economy, worth 329 trillion Civil Energy Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 81,780 Civil Energy Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, foreigners must sell an arm and a leg to afford surgery in The Lazarite Technocracy, the nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells, and migrating birds in the nation's airspace are considered a violation of national sovereignty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Lazarite Technocracy's national animal is the Honey Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Lazarite Technocracy is ranked 42,981^st in the world and 1^st in Old Russak for Highest Poor Incomes, with 61,146.15 Standard Monetary Units.
