The Federation of Laniakea and Primaliya is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 539 million Lannies enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Setekoye Federal City. The average income tax rate is 62.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Laniākean economy, worth 39.8 trillion Solars a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,871 Solars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems, excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, Lannies submit requests for a date in writing with an enclosed RSVP card, and one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber. Crime is totally unknown. Laniakea and Primaliya's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Laniakea and Primaliya is ranked 285,539^th in the world and 5,250^th in the South Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.54 kickbacks per hour.
