The Shogunal Mharcacht of Laidir is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 19.209 billion Laidirians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny, corrupt government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Healthcare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aontacht. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Laidirian economy, worth a remarkable 7,897 trillion Florins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 411,143 Florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

People often feel unbalanced by their daily commute, foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of Laidir, the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Laidirians any less frightened, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Laidir's national animal is the Hyena, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholic Humanism.

Laidir is ranked 468^th in the world and 1^st in The Free Nations Region for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 14,680.72 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
