The Hell-On-Earth-Dictatorship of Lifesucksia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Great Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.209 billion Lifesucksians 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Totallynothereia City. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lifesucksian economy, worth a remarkable 4,150 trillion Hopecans 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip 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 amazing 406,594 Hopecans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, schoolchildren quote interesting facts about the square of the hypotenuse, onions have been banned due to their tendency to cause eye irritation, and petitioners are increasingly resorting to climbing through The Great Leader's window to draw attention to their issues. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lifesucksia's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lifesucksia is ranked 181,210th in the world and 5,906th in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -71.3 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
