The People's Republic of Lausia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The National Assembly with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.253 billion Lausians 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 large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Welfareograd. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Lausian economy, worth 122 trillion Lausian Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 54,208 Lausian Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Critical thinking is grounds for expulsion from university, state dairy cow's milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, one can wake up in Lausia and have breakfast in Bigtopia, and Lausian watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lausia's national animal is the T-34, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Lausia is ranked 152,734^th in the world and 397^th in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Average Incomes, with 54,208.66 Standard Monetary Units.
