The Republic of Lonxia is a large, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 130 million Lonxians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The thriving Lonxian economy, worth 10.6 trillion Lonxian Pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 81,380 Lonxian Pounds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 733,065 per year while the poor average 1,115, a ratio of 656 to 1.

What citizens give with one hand they take away with the other, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, a third of Lonxians are e-certified CEOs, and for just a few extra Lonxian Pounds Lonxians can get new driving records with their new cars. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Lonxia's national animal is the Panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lonxia is ranked 288,316^th in the world and 148^th in Aesica for Largest Black Market, with 45.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
