The Armed Republic of Lingord is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 4.549 billion Lingordians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lingordian economy, worth 514 trillion Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 113,119 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, the government's giant servers are often used as a tourist trap, and police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lingord's national animal is the Lingordian Breegull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Lingord is ranked 184,165^th in the world and 6,613^th in Lazarus for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -3.74 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
