The Social Democratic Republic of Lam Tes is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by joh bjelke-petersen with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, lack of airports, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 8.035 billion Lam Tesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nanango. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.8%.

The Lam Tesian economy, worth 480 trillion Federal Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 59,805 Federal Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 186,093 per year while the poor average 14,777, a ratio of 12.6 to 1.

Structures are raised on promises, patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Lam Tes" at foreigners, Joh bjelke-petersen's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, and patients often wonder which is more annoying: their excruciating pain or their doctor incessantly praying over it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lam Tes's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Right Wing Populism.

Lam Tes is ranked 68,750^th in the world and 5^th in United Right for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,488.73 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
