The Grand Tea Party of Lordeh is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Clyde Frog with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, vat-grown people, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 16.876 billion Buddies 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shi Tpa Town. The average income tax rate is 65.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Buddy economy, worth a remarkable 5,949 trillion Snacks 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. 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 amazing 352,553 Snacks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Buddies are fixin' ta comma any way they wanna, vital intelligence-gathering activities are often put on hold for Call of Honor tournaments, there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold, and drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking. Crime is totally unknown. Lordeh's national animal is the Clyde Frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Scientology.

Lordeh is ranked 330,332nd in the world and 3,451st in the Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 0.37 average smiles per day.
