The Federacy of Laniakea and Primaliya is a massive, genial nation, ruled by the Federal Directorate with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.777 billion Lannies are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sedikoe Federal City. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Laniākean economy, worth 209 trillion Solars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 117,888 Solars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Max Barry is this year's Miss Laniakea and Primaliya, money grows on trees, rare art has become a significant factor in negotiating all foreign trade agreements, and international tensions are high as Laniakea and Primaliya threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens. Crime is totally unknown. Laniakea and Primaliya's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Laniākean folk religion.

Laniakea and Primaliya is ranked 104,575^th in the world and 1,450^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 2,411.9 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
