The Most Serene Republic of Laurendania and ferdenwitz is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.835 billion Laurendania and ferdenwitzians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Laurendania and ferdenwitzian economy, worth 814 trillion Yen a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 119,178 Yen, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, imitation is the sincerest form of felony, torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, and soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laurendania and ferdenwitz's national animal is the Scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Laurendania and ferdenwitz is ranked 9,254^th in the world and 492^nd in Lazarus for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,376.77 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
