The Council Chambers of Lakanaba is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Council with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, otherworldly petting zoo, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 31.466 billion Lakanabans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lakanaba. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Lakanaban economy, worth an astonishing 12,167 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 386,700 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Some achieve retirement and some have retirement thrust upon them, elementary school children develop thousand-yard stares, polls predict that the hot favourites next election cycle are pop idols and cartoon characters, and the invisible hand of the market wipes babies' bottoms. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lakanaba's national animal is the slime, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Zenithian.

Lakanaba is ranked 630^th in the world and 2^nd in Federation of Planets Headquarters for Nicest Citizens, with 105.32 average smiles per day.
