The Commonwealth of Lantros is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Missail Caiban with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 9.933 billion Lantrosians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pedazo. The average income tax rate is 80.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lantrosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,666 trillion Chavoes a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 167,755 Chavoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

More sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people, Lantrosians believe manners maketh the leader, international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Lantros, and vets have been drafted in to help "fix" those who fail the parental license exam. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lantros's national animal is the Sea-Monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Lantros is ranked 243,194^th in the world and 7,929^th in The East Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -656.34 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
