The People's Republic of Languorous Lands is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.282 billion Languorous Landsians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Decadent City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.

The very strong Languorous Landsian economy, worth 542 trillion Red Cents a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 74,556 Red Cents, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 406,508 per year while the poor average 7,010, a ratio of 58.0 to 1.

The judicial system legislates morality, the ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks, citizens have to identify all the polar bears in a blizzard photo in order to access their bank account, and multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Languorous Lands's national animal is the Sloth.

Languorous Lands is ranked 85,869th in the world and 5th in The Nevers for Most Cultured, scoring 67 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
