The Hermitage of Loneliness Man is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by the Ermit with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, avant-garde cinema, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.657 billion Lonelies 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, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Education and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Lair. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Alone economy, worth a remarkable 2,542 trillion ammunitions a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,663 ammunitions, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,031,632 per year while the poor average 8,354, a ratio of 123 to 1.

Above Loneliness Man there is only sky and the fear of the unknown, maximum security Alone subway stations inspire prison systems around the world, teddy bear James Dean (aka "the Rebel Without the Claws") helps convince kids that candy cigarettes are cool, and the government is dead set on letting people rest in peace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Loneliness Man's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is selfishism.

Loneliness Man is ranked 24,649^th in the world and 2^nd in Aetheria for Highest Average Incomes, with 152,663.18 Standard Monetary Units.
