The Republic of Lansing City is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.

The strong Lansing Cityian economy, worth 109 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining.

Surveillance cameras are banned. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Lansing City's national animal is the bovina, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
