The Proletariat Paradise of Lanakea is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by The Workers with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.874 billion Lanakeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Australea. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Lanakean economy, worth a remarkable 1,258 trillion Galaxias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 183,076 Galaxias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

From the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in Lanakea, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, citizens are encouraged to show displeasure with politicians by poking them with sharp metal sticks, and the first sword of Lanakea does not run. Crime is totally unknown. Lanakea's national animal is the Lanakean Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Apatheism.

Lanakea is ranked 7,524th in the world and 153rd in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,877.53 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
