The May You Know of The Peace of Landru is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Landru with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, zero percent divorce rate, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.324 billion Landruans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 37.5%.

The thriving Peace of Landruan economy, worth 979 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,492 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, an underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban, the nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street, and religious people are committed to mental institutions for treatment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Peace of Landru's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Peace and Contentment.
