The Principality of Space Lasers is a mammoth, pleasant nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The quiet, industrious population of 5.114 billion Space Lasersians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 26.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Space Lasersian economy, worth 175 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,350 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, confused drunks wake up to irate drill sergeants whipping them into shape, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Space Lasers's national animal is the Kitsune.

Space Lasers is ranked 150,016^th in the world and 1^st in Gran for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 8,269.36 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
