The Woodhouse Sanctum of LA-1 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, devout population of 29.017 billion LA-1ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.9%.

The very strong LA-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,565 trillion $$s a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,955 $$s, with the richest citizens earning 9.6 times as much as the poorest.

Recognizing the LA-1ian flag qualifies you for citizenship, it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LA-1's national animal is the ^-^, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

LA-1 is ranked 135,545^th in the world and 1^st in Lower Austria for Most Developed, scoring 57.26 on the Human Development Index.
