The Democratic Republic of Lanedovia is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 249 million Lanedovians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 33.9%.

The powerhouse Lanedovian economy, worth 23.5 trillion Lanes a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,203 Lanes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

A popular saying is "don't do the crime if you can't smash the lime(stone)", parents who refuse to vaccinate their children are given a short jail sentence, surprising numbers of poor people are protesting against taxing the rich, and Lanedovians suffer not the eggplant emoji to live. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lanedovia's national animal is the Monster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lanedovia is ranked 24,230^th in the world and 9^th in The Embassy for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,119.57 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
