The Walled Moonbase Castle of Launcelot is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Arthur with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, complete lack of prisons, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 32.627 billion Launcers 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Round Table. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Launcerian economy, worth a remarkable 3,323 trillion lances a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 101,862 lances, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

All industry is owned and run by the government, citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, Maxtopian slaves are routinely sold as an optional extra for household appliances, and citizens who fail to follow the official national religion are executed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Launcelot's national animal is the beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Druid.

Launcelot is ranked 276,858^th in the world and 3^rd in Camelot for Safest, scoring 7.22 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
