The Grand Duchy of Laemardis is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Arzif Nuwqisa with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 5.539 billion Laemardians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kmakre. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The strong Laemardian economy, worth 378 trillion hynirs 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 Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 68,301 hynirs, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Laemardis has designated Kmakre as its capital city, tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, a dictator has seized power and outlawed elections, and Arzif Nuwqisa has just been declared ruler of Laemardis in an international press conference. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Laemardis's national animal is the swan, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Laemardis is ranked 66,966^th in the world and 7^th in Shalibvia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,041.49 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
