The Blissful Land of Laniavia is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by muza with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, otherworldly petting zoo, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 21.314 billion Laniavians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Light. The average income tax rate is 6.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Laniavian economy, worth a remarkable 3,624 trillion Signalas a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 170,047 Signalas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

You can't make an omelet without breaking a few legs, pranking is an art form, liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", and aristocracy is given the bird and called out as a lark. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Laniavia's national animal is the Weightless Sprite, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Muzaism.

Laniavia is ranked 18,149^th in the world and 177^th in the Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 170,047.03 Standard Monetary Units.
