The Proletariat Paradise of Lanakea is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Workers with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.898 billion Lanakeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Australea. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Lanakean economy, worth a remarkable 1,271 trillion Galaxias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 184,358 Galaxias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Major internet servers have acquired citizenship, legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, international terrorists often get their weapons supply in Lanakea, and "The Workers got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom. Crime is totally unknown. Lanakea's national animal is the Lanakean Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Apatheism.

Lanakea is ranked 3,503^rd in the world and 75^th in Europe for Highest Food Quality, scoring 233.8 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
