The Gaia Likeness of Living Lands is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by MrGaia with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, keen interest in outer space, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 35.579 billion Living Landsians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of LivingLandsCity. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Living Landsian economy, worth a remarkable 4,406 trillion acres a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 123,862 acres, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, a degree in MrGaia Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, and it's said that any enemy of democracy is a friend to MrGaia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Living Lands's national animal is the field mouse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Living Lands is ranked 2,507th in the world and 23rd in Nederland for Largest Populations, with 35.6 billion capita.
