The Mharcacht Seoganach Oileánda of Laidir is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sár with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 21.171 billion Laidirians 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.

The tiny, corrupt government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Welfare and Healthcare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aontacht. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Laidirian economy, worth a remarkable 8,770 trillion Florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 414,250 Florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, the military sees national borders more as guidelines than absolutes, and only vaccinated citizens may have free healthcare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Laidir's national animal is the Hyena, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholic Humanism.

Laidir is ranked 312,546th in the world and 251st in The Free Nations Region for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -103 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
