The People's Republic of Lawrence Sonntag is a mammoth, cultured nation, notable for its closed borders, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.043 billion funhausians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 23.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Lawrence Sonntagian economy, worth 340 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Furniture Restoration, Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 48,318 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Behind every local dictator is a Lawrence Sonntagian advisor whispering in their ear, there's a bustling black market for vegetables, all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police, and gay men commonly complain about their time of the month. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lawrence Sonntag's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lawrence Sonntag is ranked 90,228^th in the world and 7^th in Regency Puppets for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring zero on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
