The Concordia State of Langong is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by President Lo Pek-Hok with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 11.856 billion Concordians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xinjing. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Concordian economy, worth a remarkable 3,593 trillion Concordia Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 303,110 Concordia Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,729,253 per year while the poor average 4,171, a ratio of 654 to 1.

Elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, kindergartners love the free balloons that their schools give them, and companies have begun running campaigns to stop people from remembering their brand name. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Langong's national animal is the Three-eyed Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Bai Shangdi.

Langong is ranked 13,417^th in the world and 33^rd in Psychotic Dictatorships for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 9,492.88 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
