The Republic of Lanaograd is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 17.043 billion Maranaos are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marawi City. The average income tax rate is 81.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lanaogradian economy, worth a remarkable 1,275 trillion pesos a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 74,825 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The country is governed by a clique of political insiders known colloquially as The Establishment, the government has been criticized for giving away Lanaograd's territory to anyone who claims it, street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, and neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lanaograd's national animal is the camaroncocido, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lanaograd is ranked 239,014^th in the world and 147^th in Philippines for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -17.26 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
