The Kingdom of Landkrei is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Elizabeth Louise Von Durchwald II with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.883 billion Landkreians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Königstadt. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Landkreian economy, worth 675 trillion Landkreian Kronens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 174,028 Landkreian Kronens, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 687,550 per year while the poor average 29,822, a ratio of 23.1 to 1.

Ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, glamping Landkreians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, the banshee wail foretells skies of death, and a tax exemption has created a new hunger for octogenarian millionaires dating women 60 years their younger. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Landkrei's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Vulperinism.

Landkrei is ranked 136,671st in the world and 3rd in World of Lostoria for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 2,236.99 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
