The Empire of Lansinge is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Tiberius Windsor V with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.198 billion Lansingeans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zealolen. The average income tax rate is 48.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lansingean economy, worth 391 trillion denaris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 122,553 denaris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, a girl's success in life is often linked to her performance in beauty pageants, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, and the tribal zone has been opened to up to 'economic interest' groups. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lansinge's national animal is the Renewed Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Lansinge is ranked 21,781^st in the world and 696^th in the South Pacific for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 1,338.34 Tourists Per Hour.
