The Republic of Lead Dioxide is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.269 billion Lead Dioxideans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — prioritizes Law & Order, with Administration, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Lead Dioxidean economy, worth 440 trillion baht a year, is highly specialized and solely comprised of the Soda Sales industry. Average income is 35,870 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets, forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, the nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide, and Leader is called 'Patches' at international summits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Lead Dioxide's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Lead Dioxide is ranked 227,721^st in the world and 3,940^th in Artificial Solar System for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -6.32 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
