The Republic of Laminatota is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-working, cynical population of 10.841 billion enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The small, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and the Environment. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration industries.

Voting is voluntary, the police force is on a recruitment drive, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is a problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Laminatota's national animal is the eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dollar.

Laminatota is ranked 1st in Sahrawi and 52,157th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 2 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
