The Superior Goat Nation of Lanagon is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Kozel with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 34.121 billion Lanagonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lanagonia. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The all-consuming Lanagonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,976 trillion goats a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Tourism industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 116,541 goats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

International tensions are high as Lanagon threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, all new "spies" are fifteen-year-old acne-ridden kids on computers, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, and the military has grudgingly released all top secret information in an effort for greater transparency. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lanagon's national animal is the goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lanagon is ranked 3,873rd in the world and 30th in The East Pacific for Largest Populations, with 34.1 billion capita.
