The Federation of Lanchadganopia is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.365 billion Lanchadganopians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Lanchadganopian economy, worth 88.9 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 16,566 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lanchadganopia's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Lanchadganopia is ranked 185,383^rd in the world and 1^st in New Zealandia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 928.92 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
