The Grand Duchy of Lamayotte is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-working population of 862 million Lamayotteans 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ettoyamal. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lamayottean economy, worth 97.8 trillion Francs a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 113,502 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ettoyamal has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, playing an online nation simulation game legally obliges you to buy the creator's latest novel, and the Lamayotte Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lamayotte's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lamayotte is ranked 184,076^th in the world and 538^th in The Wellspring for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 379.26 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
