The Council Chambers of Lakanaba is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 26.209 billion Lakanabans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lakanaba. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Lakanaban economy, worth a remarkable 9,945 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 379,456 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, visiting the best Lakanaban restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, and songwriters compete to see who can come up with the most blasphemous lyrics. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lakanaba's national animal is the slime, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Zenithian.

Lakanaba is ranked 639th in the world and 2nd in Federation of Planets Headquarters for Lowest Crime Rates, with 185.28 law-abiding acts per hour.
