The Matriarchy of Lhazastan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Amarynthia Kuzmenko with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 31.726 billion Lhazastanians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lhaza. The average income tax rate is 65.2%.

The powerhouse Lhazastanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,041 trillion arbitrary units of value a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 95,869 arbitrary units of value, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, t-shirts displaying a photo of Amarynthia Kuzmenko performing the Full-Monty are selling out, people can get away with murder these days, and Amarynthia Kuzmenko's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lhazastan's national animal is the kiwi, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is the cult of Amarynthia.

Lhazastan is ranked 38,513^th in the world and 1^st in Amazon Federation for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,296.94 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
