The Queendom of Lawang is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ceres XI with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 18.903 billion Lawangites enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gateway. The average income tax rate is 3.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lawangite economy, worth a remarkable 6,439 trillion Zens a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 340,635 Zens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The army consists of only generals and grunts, cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, bins outnumber trees in city parks, and soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets. Crime is totally unknown. Lawang's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Aevaism.

Lawang is ranked 52,708th in the world and 12th in Anime for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,728.87 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
