The Commonwealth of Lanorth is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Johannes van der Capellen with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.643 billion Lanorthans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eemshaven. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lanorthan economy, worth a remarkable 3,714 trillion Kruijns a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 319,071 Kruijns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, the military has gone fission for more funding, turnstile jumpers grow up to be tax cheats, and viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lanorth's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Lanorth is ranked 147,690th in the world and 2,525th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 172.0414523934 days.
