The Resurrected Peoples Republic of Losche is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Kokichi Ouma with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cynical population of 9.442 billion Loscovars 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solascus. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Loscovar economy, worth a remarkable 1,324 trillion notes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 140,295 notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, catching the latest tribal tournament is to die for, a shipwreck is everyone's fault but the captain's, and celestial bodies that make revolutions receive revolutions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Losche's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Losche is ranked 115,783^rd in the world and 54^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,299.42 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
