The District of Lagerstrom is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 21.812 billion Lagerstromians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The very strong Lagerstromian economy, worth 618 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 28,348 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 192,737 per year while the poor average 1,523, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Surveillance cameras are banned, Lagerstrom has designated District City as its capital city, Liard has just been declared ruler of Lagerstrom in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as Lagerstrom's national religion. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Lagerstrom's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lagerstrom is ranked 269,057^th in the world and 8^th in Victoria City for Safest, scoring 10.95 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
