The Democratic Republic of Lanedovia is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its public floggings, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 255 million Lanedovians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 35.2%.

The powerhouse Lanedovian economy, worth 24.0 trillion Lanes a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,976 Lanes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Lanedovians suffer not the eggplant emoji to live, coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, and Lanedovia has designated Lanedovia City as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lanedovia's national animal is the Monster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lanedovia is ranked 136,301^st in the world and 20^th in The Embassy for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 35.17 Effective Tax Rate.
