The District of Laronde is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.158 billion Larondeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The very strong Larondean economy, worth 866 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 57,156 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 368,380 per year while the poor average 3,582, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Surveillance cameras are banned, punitive tariffs protect local industry, Laronde has designated District City as its capital city, and Liard has just been declared ruler of Laronde in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Laronde's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Laronde is ranked 59,155th in the world and 4th in Isle of Man for Most Stationary, with 774.09129624792 days.
