The Kingdom of Lapody is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its closed borders, enslaved workforce, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.942 billion Lapodyians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Albiga. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Lapodyian economy, worth 326 trillion Talers 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 impressive 110,996 Talers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 331,010 per year while the poor average 29,145, a ratio of 11.4 to 1.

Sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, exceptionally talented workers are praised more than Revolutionary heroes, and fans doing the wave routinely disrupt the finals of Go tournaments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lapody's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Lapody is ranked 142,929^th in the world and 1^st in IxWiki for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 987.93 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
