The Kingdom of Lan Xang is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Phraya Fa Ngum with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 3.581 billion Lan Xangis 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luang Prabang. The average income tax rate is 48.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Lan Xangian economy, worth 171 trillion Lats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,983 Lats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government thinks Lan Xangis can achieve social cohesion by drinking soda together, foreign aid is a seedy business, the nation takes the world's poor and tired and the huddled Masses yearning to breathe free, and too many developers spoil the codebase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lan Xang's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Lan Xang is ranked 236,938^th in the world and 9^th in The Cherlands for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
