The Democratic Republic of New Lanous is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Bilkal with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.156 billion Lanternouintis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Administration, although Defense, Industry, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Navgyt. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Defto economy, worth 239 trillion Rangoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,029 Rangoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Domesticated Ibex is one of the most popular forenames in New Lanous, Bilkal claims to be the epitome of family values, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, and the army consists of only generals and grunts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Lanous's national animal is the Domesticated Ibex, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hindianity.

New Lanous is ranked 43,454^th in the world and 1^st in Southwest Atlantic for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,153.07 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
