The Commonwealth of The Lannau Towzelstan is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Wilhelm II with an even hand, and notable for its enslaved workforce, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 2.551 billion Towzelstanians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dune. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Towzelstanian economy, worth 230 trillion Lyras a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,545 Lyras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence, class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation, and programmers often reinvent the wheel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Lannau Towzelstan's national animal is the Crab, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Lannau Towzelstan is ranked 60,855^th in the world and 46^th in Empire of Great Britain for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 123.96 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
