The Great Power of Landkrei is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Elizabeth Louise Von Durchwald II with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.135 billion Landkreians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Königstadt. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Landkreian economy, worth 738 trillion Landkreian Kronens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 178,581 Landkreian Kronens, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 810,888 per year while the poor average 24,087, a ratio of 33.7 to 1.

A cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, the nation is noticeably more cheerful on Tuesdays, estate agents justify funky smells by revealing how often the previous owners showered, and military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Landkrei's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Vulperinism.

Landkrei is ranked 24,372^nd in the world and 2^nd in World of Lostoria for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,300.63 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
