The Paradise of Lansaka is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Dianne Dawson with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.468 billion Lansakans 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 Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port King. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lansakan economy, worth 761 trillion Lafas a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 117,744 Lafas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

There are no more heroes any more, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, the ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks, and President Dianne Dawson's opponents have adopted dogs to chase away the mailman. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lansaka's national animal is the Cottonmouth Coral Copperhead Rattlesnake, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Religionism.

Lansaka is ranked 55,391st in the world and 961st in the Rejected Realms for Highest Drug Use, scoring 269.46 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
