The Kingdom of Lanzevaia is a large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 103 million Lanzevaians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 33.7%.

The Lanzevaian economy, worth 6.02 trillion Lanzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 58,478 Lanzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The only violent vigilantes are the ones in police uniforms, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, every politician claims to be at least 1% Native Lanzevaian, and children seem to be getting better at lying these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lanzevaia's national animal is the Auschvergean Black Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Lanzevaia is ranked 199,993^rd in the world and 1,719^th in the West Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 354.7 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
