The Democratic Republic of United lainla is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed population of 40 million lainlans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 42.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient lainlan economy, worth 1.70 trillion UNRS a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,515 UNRS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show, the men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, bris parties are all the rage, and tourists call lainlan beach towns "the fine coastline". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United lainla's national animal is the Lainla tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

United lainla is ranked 76,994^th in the world and 2,533^rd in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,211.13 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
