The People's Republic of Landorom is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 127 million Landoromians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 59.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Landoromian economy, worth 5.27 trillion Marks 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 dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 41,458 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Skunk Cory Dung" has been declared a national treasure, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, the police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Landorom's national animal is the Skunk cory, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Landorom is ranked 246,734^th in the world and 219^th in Refugia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -5.91 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
