The Scandinavian Realm of Lagene is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 568 million Lageneans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Risastort. The average income tax rate is 64.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Lagenean economy, worth 43.7 trillion Eunes a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,914 Eunes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Risastort for fear of causing a fuss, little kids often wonder why strange grown-ups are following them around the soft play areas, tax returns detail how many games of slots each citizen will be able to play with their refund, and citizens must pay to enjoy Lagene's pristine beaches. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lagene's national animal is the Banana Slug, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lagene is ranked 100,859^th in the world and 887^th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
