The Federation of Laniakea and Primaliya is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its smutty television, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 593 million Lannies are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Setekoye Federal City. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Laniākean economy, worth 45.9 trillion Solars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,352 Solars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Breast milk lattes are the newest fad among hip urbanites, barbers who trim a few inches of hair bill the government for their labor, primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, and they say that Lannies made a dessert and called it peace. Crime is totally unknown. Laniakea and Primaliya's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Laniakea and Primaliya is ranked 222,022^nd in the world and 4,021^st in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -4.2 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
