The Democratic Republic of Muang Lao is a mammoth, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning fox population. The hard-working population of 8.013 billion Muang Laoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 17.2%.

The Muang Laoan economy, worth 363 trillion baht a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is 45,383 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Muang Lao's national animal is the fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Muang Lao is ranked 96,909^th in the world and 4^th in Southeast Asian Nations for Largest Populations, with 8.01 billion capita.
