The Republic of Lannion is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 285 million Lannionnaises are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Healthcare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.7%.

The strong Lannionnais economy, worth 17.9 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 62,779 euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 185,252 per year while the poor average 16,732, a ratio of 11.1 to 1.

Women earn less than half the salary of men if they can even find a job, citizens often ask "what has information technology ever done for us?", one complaint of Lannion's new periodic table is it's easy to confuse fearlessleaderium with gloriousleaderium, and people eagerly queue days at A&E to wait for their free healthcare. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Lannion's national animal is the sheep, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lannion is ranked 199,958^th in the world and 5^th in Breizh for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 73 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
