The Democratic Republic of Lingkungan is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.76 billion Lingkunganians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The powerhouse Lingkunganian economy, worth 122 trillion Erian Pesos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 69,646 Erian Pesos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 280,923 per year while the poor average 11,533, a ratio of 24.4 to 1.

Belief that Leader is a lizard-person from outer space has reached an all-time high, a third of Lingkunganians are e-certified CEOs, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and piracy is the nation's most popular pastime. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Lingkungan's national animal is the Human, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lingkungan is ranked 151,237^th in the world and 5,176^th in Balder for Most Armed, with 0.32 weapons per person.
