The Free Land of Loechia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Shrimpy DeShrimp with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 16.836 billion Loechians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Loechia City. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Loechian economy, worth a remarkable 2,408 trillion Novas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,059 Novas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminal convictions are routinely thrown out because the accused's grandmother didn't get to testify about their good character, Loechian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Shrimpy DeShrimp, insanely good theatre productions face government censorship, and airport announcements inform passengers that flights have been delayed because pilots are having afternoon naps. Crime is totally unknown. Loechia's national animal is the Loechian Bloodhound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Loechia is ranked 53,488^th in the world and 1,166^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.36 law-abiding acts per hour.
