The Queendom of Lawang is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Ceres XI with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The compassionate, democratic population of 18.891 billion Lawangites enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gateway. The average income tax rate is 3.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Lawangite economy, worth a remarkable 6,429 trillion Zens a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 340,342 Zens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, and the army consists of only generals and grunts. Crime is totally unknown. Lawang's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Aevaism.
Lawang is ranked 232,191st in the world and 29th in Anime for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.94 kickbacks per hour.
