The Community of Lagiand is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its daily referendums, avant-garde cinema, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.751 billion Lagiandians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Lagiandian economy, worth 212 trillion rupees 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, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Average income is 37,024 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, and gift hampers filled with delicious beef jerky are sent to newly communist nations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lagiand's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lagiand is ranked 79,329^th in the world and 1,047^th in the Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 35,366.64 Standard Monetary Units.
