The Scandinavian Realm of Lagene is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 671 million Lageneans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Risastort. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Lagenean economy, worth 56.3 trillion Eunes a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,920 Eunes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's used car is held together by bumper stickers that support the opposition, economists claim no news is good news, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, and Lageneans incessantly needle their doctors for relief. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lagene's national animal is the Banana Slug, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lagene is ranked 19,394^th in the world and 393^rd in Europe for Highest Food Quality, scoring 119.08 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
