The Commonwealth of Laane-Viru County is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 5.317 billion Laane-Viru Countyians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Laane-Viru Countyian economy, worth 760 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 143,114 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

A good deed is rewarded with a thank you note attached to a deportation order, the nation frequently scolds its subject territories for staying up past bedtime, nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids, and the first sword of Laane-Viru County does not run. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laane-Viru County's national animal is the panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Laane-Viru County is ranked 278,334th in the world and 15th in Counties of Estonia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.58 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
