The Republic of Lappland is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 606 million Lapplanders are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 24.0%.

The strong Lapplandish economy, worth 33.6 trillion euromarks a year, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 55,489 euromarks, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and children dream of becoming physicians and physicists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lappland's national animal is the wolverine.

Lappland is ranked 257,036th in the world and 297th in Panam for Smartest Citizens, with 21.95 quips per hour.
