The Galactic Federation of Lakarian is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Federation President with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 22.019 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 on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Denver. The average income tax rate is 43%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

A cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, government popup ads are springing up like weeds, elderly pekineses are frequently shot for looking at people 'in a funny way', and citizens may cast their vote over the internet or phone. 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 2,316th in the South Pacific and 68,083rd in the world for Most Conservative, scoring 49 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
