The Confederacy of Lingnaam is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its national health service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 260 million Lingnaamese are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 40.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Lingnaamian economy, worth 8.98 trillion Jyuns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,525 Jyuns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps, former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades, Leader's speeches are beloved by insomniacs, and some electoral districts are without a representative as they are stuck with perpetual revotes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lingnaam's national animal is the Ram, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lingnaam is ranked 64,887^th in the world and 8^th in Imperatus for Smartest Citizens, with 40.18 quips per hour.
