The Kingdom of Landerova is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 211 million Landerovans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 65.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Landerovan economy, worth 5.50 trillion VMRS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 26,089 VMRS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Leader's throne, witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, citizens who leave the nation for work are instantly charged with treason, and mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Landerova's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Landerova is ranked 55,135^th in the world and 1,682^nd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 71 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
