The People's Republic of Londesk is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Marcus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.256 billion Londeskians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gottwaldov city. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Londeskian economy, worth 62.6 trillion loyaltieses a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,848 loyaltieses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Meteorologists are instantly recognizable from their luxury cars and jewelry, the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, the military's newest toy broadcasts Londesk's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane, and Marcus is the self-declared God of all Londesk. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Londesk's national animal is the shark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Marcusism.

Londesk is ranked 178,785^th in the world and 9,520^th in Osiris for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 820.25 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
