The National Park of Lawid is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Casper I The Wild Alpha Of The Pack with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, strictly enforced bedtime, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.753 billion African Wild Dogs 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 medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newid. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lawidian economy, worth a remarkable 1,578 trillion Lewadollars 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, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 161,837 Lewadollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

"Mad Max: Returning Again to Barrydrome" is this year's unexpected summer blockbuster, the green glow is a sign of clean energy, a passport is literally priceless, and restaurants have added Molotov cocktails to the menu. Crime is totally unknown. Lawid's national animal is the African Wild Dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Lycaon Pictus.

Lawid is ranked 20,324^th in the world and 51^st in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Developed, scoring 86.74 on the Human Development Index.
