The People's Democratic Republic of Laos is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its burgeoning Indian Elephant population. The cynical population of 28.848 billion Laosians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 41.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Laosian economy, worth 648 trillion Francoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 22,488 Francoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laos's national animal is the Indian Elephant.

Laos is ranked 273,153^rd in the world and 14^th in Southeast Asia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 726.61 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
