The Kingdom of Lasniton is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Johnathan Riley with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and vat-grown people. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.022 billion Lasnitonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lan Carino. The average income tax rate is 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Lasnitonian economy, worth 93.1 trillion Werils a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 91,101 Werils, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political cartoons depicting Johnathan Riley's face on a Possum's buttocks are selling like hotcakes, tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, there are no more heroes any more, and it's said that Johnathan Riley can turn every pleasure into a chore. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lasniton's national animal is the Possum, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lasniton is ranked 177,769^th in the world and 243^rd in Edoca for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 118.34 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
