The Immortal Omnipality of The Langobardi is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Majestic Imperator Augustus Vegetahkyte with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, flagrant waste-dumping, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 14.465 billion Langobardians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pozeidhun. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.0%.

The thriving Langobardian economy, worth a remarkable 4,032 trillion Crown Tridents a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 278,750 Crown Tridents, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,251,569 per year while the poor average 38,368, a ratio of 32.6 to 1.

Wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, the nation has always been at war with Moltovea, the nation has been sent to bed early for unspecified naughtiness, and police protocol is to arrest anyone who looks a bit foreign. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Langobardi's national animal is the Tricerahtops, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Langobardi is ranked 7,435th in the world and 386th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 137 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
