The Federation of United Lairundi is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its national health service, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 154 million United Lairundians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 53.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong United Lairundian economy, worth 11.3 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 73,400 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them, stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, and the seventh son of a seventh son is fated to be a millionaire. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Lairundi's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

United Lairundi is ranked 272,342^nd in the world and 4,435^th in The East Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -165.04 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
