The Random Confederacy of Central Landic is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 8.32 billion Central Landicians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Central Landician economy, worth 104 trillion yuhs 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 Retail, Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. 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 12,570 yuhs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Central Landic's national animal is the spotted kulopos, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Central Landic is ranked 192,628^th in the world and 145^th in The Transitionists for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 327.45 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
