The Republic of Lanwous is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 262 million Lanwousians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 19.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Lanwousian economy, worth 10.5 trillion pesos a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,911 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lanwous's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lanwous is ranked 93,529^th in the world and 2,161^st in the Rejected Realms for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,593.58 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
