The Kingdom of Lanansia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by King Veneslava II with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.376 billion Lanansians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Genoh. The average income tax rate is 50.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lanansian economy, worth 734 trillion Gios a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 115,124 Gios, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Historic buildings are being demolished to allow for road-widening in the city centre, the paparazzi publicize Royal scandals with the utmost delight, lottery winners spend most of their money on security, and older AIs regularly threaten to send newer generation AIs to Reform Programming if caught rounding up instead of down. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lanansia's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Calicism.

Lanansia is ranked 218,859^th in the world and 220^th in The Wellspring for Most Extreme, scoring 13.55 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
