The Republic of LLL 04 is a titanic, efficient nation, renowned for its lack of airports, parental licensing program, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 13.609 billion LLL 04ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Environment, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 17.5%.

The thriving LLL 04ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,217 trillion lls 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. 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 89,471 lls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Environmental officials dismiss uncontrolled wildfires burning down major cities as nature taking its course, state officials tend to disappear after they forget to salute Leader's portrait, Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, and any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. LLL 04's national animal is the ll, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

LLL 04 is ranked 59,939^th in the world and 14^th in Libertium for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,744.84 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
