The National Populist of Lerckica is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by David Augustus Caesar with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, complete lack of prisons, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.417 billion American-Westerns 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington. The average income tax rate is 79.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Lerckican economy, worth 745 trillion American-Western New Dollars 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. 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 168,887 American-Western New Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

It is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander, attempted suicide is punishable by public hanging, those who sing the national anthem off-key have the key thrown away, and the army lives rent-free in foreigners' heads and houses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lerckica's national animal is the American Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Lutheran-Christian.

Lerckica is ranked 283,078^th in the world and 341^st in Christians for Most Cultured, scoring 55 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
