The State of Langara Island is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 10.004 billion Langara Islandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The strong Langara Islandian economy, worth 482 trillion betales a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 48,279 betales, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, Langara Island has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Langara Island in an international press conference. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Langara Island's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Langara Island is ranked 61,268^th in the world and 4^th in Uzbekistan for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,392.95 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
