The Free Land of Lobstone is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Sr Lagosta with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.507 billion Lobstonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lagostal. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Lobstonian economy, worth 585 trillion Paus a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 78,027 Paus, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be, sweat stains are proof of political acumen, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, and the government expresses surprisingly intense opinions on the use of whip pans. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lobstone's national animal is the Lobster, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The Lobster Cult.

Lobstone is ranked 9,442^nd in the world and 15^th in Portugal for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 65.68 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
