The Commonwealth of Layem-Desmond is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, ubiquitous missile silos, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate population of 1.829 billion Layem-Desmondians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 78.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Layem-Desmondian economy, worth 264 trillion Guilders a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,516 Guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Residents of newly dried out bays live in fear of leaky dikes, bronze and marble supplies are running low as sculptors depict full-figured subjects, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and putting houses on stilts is elevating house porches and prices alike. Crime is totally unknown. Layem-Desmond's national animal is the Beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Layem-Desmond is ranked 127,626^th in the world and 19^th in Valley of Peace for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,494.34 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
