The League of Lanonia is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 1.008 billion Lanonians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mariniya. The average income tax rate is 26.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Lanonian economy, worth 101 trillion Lanoinan Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,456 Lanoinan Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Billions are being spent on a new island airport, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, and metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lanonia's national animal is the Shark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Lanonia is ranked 83,638^th in the world and 14^th in Union of Conlang Nations for Safest, scoring 88.66 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
