The Republic of Lane Extrus is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 12.478 billion Lane Extrusians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 22.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Lane Extrusian economy, worth 132 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 10,642 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lane Extrus's national animal is the eagle.

Lane Extrus is ranked 264,405^th in the world and 14,660^th in Lazarus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 61.99 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
