The Lazercat fleet of Lasercat Queendom is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lasercat with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 11.825 billion Lasercats are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The known world. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The thriving lasered economy, worth 722 trillion Lasers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 61,096 Lasers, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 343,186 per year while the poor average 5,380, a ratio of 63.8 to 1.

Surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods, the single fish caught by lasered fishers last year is cited as evidence of Lasercat Queendom's thriving fisheries, incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, and The known world is a police state during international summits. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lasercat Queendom's national animal is the Lasercat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Lasercat.

Lasercat Queendom is ranked 246,674^th in the world and 67^th in The Interdimensional Community for Lowest Crime Rates, with 53.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
