The Kingdom of Lombard Padania is a very large, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 398 million Lombard Padanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Milan. The average income tax rate is 34.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Lombard Padanian economy, worth 26.1 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,654 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Cold medicines curiously become cheaper when government officials sneeze, students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, Lombard Padania has designated Milan as its capital city, and a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lombard Padania's national animal is the alpine ibex.

Lombard Padania is ranked 124,205^th in the world and 199^th in Europe for Fattest Citizens, with 10.41 Obesity Rate.
