The Hopeless Addiction of Mainlend is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Narcoleptic Alcoholic II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.606 billion Lendonians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pomui. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Lendonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,336 trillion Leorens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 243,223 Leorens, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Lendonian watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, Big Brother is still watching even when your big brother is dead, chests full of green leaves dumped into the harbor have many murmuring against the government, and water fights now end with thousands dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mainlend's national animal is the Reindeer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.

Mainlend is ranked 15,937^th in the world and 1^st in The Warp for Smartest Citizens, with 75.75 quips per hour.
