The Empire of The Longtond is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory vegetarianism, and suspicion of poets. The cynical, devout population of 253 million Longtondians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 26.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Longtondian economy, worth 13.1 trillion Lebucks a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,748 Lebucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Newlywed misogynists complain about their wives keeping their maiden names, baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward, prospective foster parents like to shop around, and derelict airplanes have been converted into novelty restaurants and hotels. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Longtond's national animal is the Lebron, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Longtond is ranked 82,753^rd in the world and 9^th in The Churchlands for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,813.36 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
