The Democratic Republic of Lanedovia is a very large, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 366 million Lanedovians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 43.0%.

The all-consuming Lanedovian economy, worth 36.3 trillion Lanes a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,134 Lanes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, counselors diagnose their clients with motherboard complexes, doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia, and only the richest get to see out of their windows. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lanedovia's national animal is the Monster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lanedovia is ranked 30,194^th in the world and 7^th in The Embassy for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.05 percentage of bribes refused.
