The Kingdom of Lauidustan is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 320 million Lauidustanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 49.0%.

The Lauidustanian economy, worth 10.5 trillion imperial colpeses a year, is dominated by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 32,820 imperial colpeses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, Harry Potter books are banned, and the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli. Crime is moderate. Lauidustan's national animal is the crocodile.

Lauidustan is ranked 168,325^th in the world and 3^rd in Talonian Security Bureau for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 1,653.41 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
