The Federation of Laniakea and Primaliya is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its smutty television, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 575 million Lannies are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Setekoye Federal City. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Laniākean economy, worth 43.2 trillion Solars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,054 Solars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, all beauty contests have been banned, copyright laws have been abolished, and youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights. Crime is totally unknown. Laniakea and Primaliya's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Laniakea and Primaliya is ranked 113,283^rd in the world and 2,380^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 13.87 flags saluted per person per day.
