The Federal Republic of Northern Laliquestandlaving is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Federal Assembly with a fair hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 922 million Northern Laliquestandlavingians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Environment and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Northern Citadel. The average income tax rate is 6.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Northern Laliquestandlavingian economy, worth 146 trillion Korunas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 159,032 Korunas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

The only place where one can see the Northern Laliquestandlavingian cherry tree is in a museum, you have to be a billionaire to qualify for welfare, citizens need a magnifying glass and color chart to distinguish between nearly identical brand labels, and diplomats are always trying to convince other nations to adopt l33t speak. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Northern Laliquestandlaving's national animal is the Crow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Northern Laliquestandlaving is ranked 12,445th in the world and 299th in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 364.81 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
