The Armed Republic of Laone is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.024 billion Laoneans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The strong Laonean economy, worth 57.3 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Soda Sales. Average income is 55,995 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 316,929 per year while the poor average 4,847, a ratio of 65.4 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Laone's national animal is the cobra, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Laone is ranked 215,645^th in the world and 1^st in Lump for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
