The Rogue Nation of East Side Lakes is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The State Admiral with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, rampant corporate plagiarism, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.287 billion East Side Lakesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of east side. The average income tax rate is 46.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong East Side Lakesian economy, worth 87.9 trillion East lake dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,281 East lake dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The State Admiral has killer fashion sense, unemployed accountants keep double-entry ledgers of their benefit claims, speech bubbles are the soul of wit, and property subletting is going underground. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Side Lakes's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The State Admiral Is Our God.

East Side Lakes is ranked 308,156^th in the world and 12,458^th in Balder for Nudest, with 8.25 cheeks per square mile.
