The Holy Republic of Lasi Appria is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Yodle with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.487 billion Lasi Apprians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. The average income tax rate is 25.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Lasi Apprian economy, worth a remarkable 1,358 trillion Gold Coins 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 Retail, Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, 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 an impressive 108,814 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, major internet servers have acquired citizenship, most ambassadors from Lasi Appria retire only a few years after being appointed, and escalators are avoided at all costs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lasi Appria's national animal is the Cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Yodlism.

Lasi Appria is ranked 70,311th in the world and 115th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Cultured, scoring 68 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
