The large, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Loshaan economy, worth 210 trillion Structures a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 131,479 Structures, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 872,615 per year while the poor average 7,587, a ratio of 115 to 1.

The government has been criticized for giving away Loshaa's territory to anyone who claims it, a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines, and pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Loshaa's national animal is the Clam, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Loshaa is ranked 74,923rd in the world and 4th in Nova Constantinople for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.07 law-abiding acts per hour.
