The Moro Islamic City of Lanoagrad is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Eskorvos Benedict with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.049 billion Gradians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lanao City. The average income tax rate is 31.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Lanoagradian economy, worth 328 trillion Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Basket Weaving, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 81,208 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, and beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lanoagrad's national animal is the Philippine Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Lanoagrad is ranked 56,026^th in the world and 3,436^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.64 law-abiding acts per hour.
