The Republic of Lone Palm is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Commander Coconut with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.885 billion Lone Palmians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Echo Pier. The average income tax rate is 68.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Lone Palmian economy, worth a remarkable 1,079 trillion Rocks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,474 Rocks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Lone Palmians suffer not the eggplant emoji to live, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, some are born loving old plays and some have old plays thrust upon them, and endangered species are effective hostages against the Lone Palmian military. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lone Palm's national animal is the Fruit Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Holy Palm.

Lone Palm is ranked 152,605th in the world and 572nd in The grimy backyard of Bigej for Most Stationary, with 150.060147017 days.
