The Incorporated States of Losiste is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Empress with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.353 billion Losisteans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 57.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Losistean economy, worth 182 trillion Golds 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 Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Tourism. 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 135,250 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People talk about things being better when men were men, edutainment video games are taking Losiste's students to the next level, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, and theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Losiste's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Losiste is ranked 239,722^nd in the world and 9,098^th in The North Pacific for Most Politically Apathetic Citizens, with 25.91 Whatever.
