The Empire of Langostan is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Clawdini The Wise with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, avowedly heterosexual populace, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.95 billion Langostanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sentinel. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Langostanian economy, worth 391 trillion Doubloons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 98,927 Doubloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government makes bereaved siblings into bereaved orphans, it's a marvellous night for a moon dance as the sparks on your home start to rise, many believe that Clawdini The Wise's head is big enough for the sun to orbit around it, and when shaking hands with foreign leaders Clawdini The Wise wears an armoured gauntlet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Langostan's national animal is the Lobster, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Lobsterism.

Langostan is ranked 74,345^th in the world and 3,684^th in Osiris for Most Developed, scoring 69.3 on the Human Development Index.
