The State of Lamanai is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 13.636 billion Lamanaians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 29.1%.

The strong Lamanaian economy, worth 735 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 53,974 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Lamanai has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of Lamanai in an international press conference, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lamanai's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lamanai is ranked 127,336^th in the world and 97^th in United States of America for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
