The Galactic Federation of Lakarian is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Federation President with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 19.811 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Education and Religion & Spirituality are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Denver. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, and tax evaders are regularly visited by agents of the Lakarian Blood Tithe. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lakarian's national animal is the elderly pekinese, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Church of the Savior, and its currency is the token.

Lakarian is ranked 4,695th in the South Pacific and 101,027th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -11 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
