The Republic of Lankaria is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The King of Aland with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.197 billion Lankarians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Woodford and Ilford. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lankarian economy, worth 354 trillion Lanks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,982 Lanks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The King of Aland's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, The King of Aland is considering changing the nation's name to Blackacre, and snap elections are called whenever there's a chance to increase The King of Aland's majority. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lankaria's national animal is the leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Landasinity.

Lankaria is ranked 157,654^th in the world and 6,060^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 554.02 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
