The Republic of Langenia is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by President Nicolas Furia with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, infamous sell-swords, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 13.036 billion Langenians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aridas. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Langenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,767 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 212,332 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Taking a walk on the wild side is punishable by death, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, elderly tribespeople die in bed surrounded by loved ones and linguists, and blocks empty out when a Bigtopian family moves in down the road. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Langenia's national animal is the Imperial eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Langenia is ranked 207,665^th in the world and 10^th in Esvanovia for Most Politically Free, scoring 42.86 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
