The Democratic Republic of Lamang is a fledgling, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 5 million Lamangans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 23.1%.

The Lamangian economy, worth 232 billion hryvnias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. Average income is 46,415 hryvnias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, prison reforms have replaced communal luaus with communal loos, films are funded in accordance with the volume of tears shed when reading the screenplay, and Lamang's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Lamang's national animal is the Snork, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lamang is ranked 223,555^th in the world and 158^th in Aesica for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 560.5 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
