The Protectorate of LGD is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.53 billion LGDians 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 medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.0%.

The strong LGDian economy, worth 79.5 trillion Lungmen Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 51,964 Lungmen Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 152,977 per year while the poor average 13,895, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, thousands of children die every day from easily curable illnesses, anyone with an emergency on a holy day is advised to pray harder, and a major religion has been named as LGD's national religion. Crime is moderate. LGD's national animal is the Lungmen, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

LGD is ranked 162,179^th in the world and 19^th in Lungmen for Highest Average Incomes, with 51,964.43 Standard Monetary Units.
