The Free Land of Loechia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Shrimpy DeShrimp with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 16.945 billion Loechians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Loechia City. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Loechian economy, worth a remarkable 2,409 trillion Novas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,192 Novas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminal convictions are routinely thrown out because the accused's grandmother didn't get to testify about their good character, Loechian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Shrimpy DeShrimp, insanely good theatre productions face government censorship, and airport announcements inform passengers that flights have been delayed because pilots are having afternoon naps. Crime is totally unknown. Loechia's national animal is the Loechian Bloodhound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Loechia is ranked 12,596^th in the world and 354^th in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 146.01 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
