The Ruins of Lingones is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 1.437 billion Lingonesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 40.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Lingonesian economy, worth 14.4 trillion Gaulish livres 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, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 10,001 Gaulish livres, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lingones's national animal is the Gaulish.

Lingones is ranked 231,850^th in the world and 2^nd in Gaulish Empire for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 172.03 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
