The Free Land of Lower Christland is a small, safe nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 45 million Christlandians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and Defense aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 9.4%.

The very strong Lower Christlandian economy, worth 3.13 trillion copper beads a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 69,610 copper beads, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Immigrant herding has become a national pastime, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, climate activists rejoice as electric sedans are replaced by diesel buses in gridlock, and prosecutors are tucked into bed by the household police officer. Crime is almost non-existent. Lower Christland's national animal is the goat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lower Christland is ranked 67,197th in the world and 863rd in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 12.62 Obesity Rate.
