The Commonwealth of Lantros is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Missail Caiban with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 16.605 billion Lantrosians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edaz. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lantrosian economy, worth a remarkable 2,892 trillion Veyons a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 174,192 Veyons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is dead set on letting people rest in peace, odysseying merchant sailors swear that they've heard sirens in the western seas, citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, and trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lantros's national animal is the Sea-Monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Satanism.

Lantros is ranked 64,424^th in the world and 997^th in The East Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 21.89 flags saluted per person per day.
