The Colony of Lauidustan 10 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 320 million Lauidustan 10ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 44.2%.

The Lauidustan 10ian economy, worth 14.0 trillion florins a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is 43,711 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, it's rare to find an unchewed pencil, and they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lauidustan 10's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Lauidustan 10 is ranked 302,536^th in the world and 16^th in Notaregionlandia for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -10.95 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
