The Democratic Federation of Lauchenoiria is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Josephine Alvarez with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.781 billion Lauchenoirians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Buttercity. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lauchenoirian economy, worth a remarkable 1,420 trillion pesos a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,760 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Commuters and their desktops both bemoan their hard drives, Josephine Alvarez is called 'Patches' at international summits, parents dread their examinations more than their children, and the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lauchenoiria's national animal is the butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Lauchenoiria is ranked 2,928^th in the world and 4^th in International Democratic Union for Healthiest Citizens, with 24.44 bananas ingested per day.
