The Empire of Laniron is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, otherworldly petting zoo, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 15.772 billion Lanironians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lanironian economy, worth a remarkable 1,790 trillion Lanis a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,537 Lanis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government subsidises medicines of mass destruction, tabloids publicly shun nurses for not calling home on the weekends, Leader steals from the rich and gives to the needy, and birth rates have hit an all-time low. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laniron's national animal is the Kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Laniron is ranked 3,037^th in the world and 6^th in Karma for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 10,291.67 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
