The Republic of Lothall is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jasper Poulton with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.702 billion Lothallians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital City. The average income tax rate is 81.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Lothallian economy, worth 274 trillion credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,702 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, and towns that stop turning a profit are turned into animal sanctuaries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lothall's national animal is the lothwolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lothall is ranked 181,414^th in the world and 2^nd in Nikara for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 331.63 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
