The United Federation of Lingang is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lord Hanna Welburg with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 26.519 billion Linganese are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strautenburg. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Linganese economy, worth a remarkable 9,020 trillion Mooks a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 340,163 Mooks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Children on trains ask what the weird-looking billboards with arrows are for, the blood, sweat, and tears of poor Linganese make research institutes rich, Lord Hanna Welburg has been known to make speeches in fishing waders, and the police are tightening their grip on alcohol smugglers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lingang's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lawfordian Christianity.

Lingang is ranked 166,377th in the world and 112th in South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 112.9149971788 days.
