The Federal Republic of Lotanio is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Miro Axolotl with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, democratic, humorless, devout population of 7.599 billion Lotenchmen - Lotenchwomen enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orange. The average income tax rate is 5.5%.

The strong Lotench economy, worth 409 trillion Mitars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,916 Mitars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

The newly revamped army is so eager for action that it has trouble keeping the peace, those who don't have a bean to spend don't know a bean about Brasilistanian coffee beans, advanced science classes teach that girls have cooties, and the steaks are too high for ambassadors to butcher foreign relationships. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lotanio's national animal is the Borneo Orangutan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Lotanio is ranked 313,136^th in the world and 10^th in Corvinia for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -6.32 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
