The Community of Layana is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, infamous sell-swords, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cheerful population of 6.436 billion Layanans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Layanan economy, worth 993 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 154,346 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, bronze and marble supplies are running low as sculptors depict full-figured subjects, and the government offers gay men mildly offensive tips on how to pass as straight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Layana's national animal is the kangaroo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Layana is ranked 289,885th in the world and 11,022nd in Osiris for Most Primitive, scoring -585.68 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
