The Grumpy Old Men of Landigo Acres is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Douglas Lorry with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 42.331 billion Landigons are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — prioritizes Law & Order, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Recliner. The average income tax rate is 89.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Landigo Acresian economy, worth a remarkable 3,432 trillion plonks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 81,089 plonks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters, and officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Landigo Acres's national animal is the retiree, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is grumbling.

Landigo Acres is ranked 242,847^th in the world and 15^th in The Scandalian Alliance for Most Primitive, scoring -131.94 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
