The Commonwealth of Lautthal is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 461 million Lautires enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Falklenberg. The average income tax rate is 45.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Lauthire economy, worth 18.8 trillion Lauthire Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,797 Lauthire Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government airlifts sacrificial lambs, hordes of gardening enthusiasts are being banished from cities nationwide, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, and farmers have taken to hunting billionaires who encroach on their land. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lautthal's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Lautthal is ranked 83,281^st in the world and 1,031^st in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 36,467.49 Standard Monetary Units.
