The Confederacy of Lamandica is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 199 million Lamandiacs enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 42.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Lamandican economy, worth 11.8 trillion Pelops a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 59,386 Pelops, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, stockbrokers dream of getting rich by writing textbooks, and both criminals and civilians are DOA. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lamandica's national animal is the Buffalo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lamandica is ranked 241,248^th in the world and 55^th in Caer Sidi for Most Authoritarian, with 405.78 milliStalins.
