The Bannorn of Lankiveil is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Bann Vorian vos Zaqu with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 10.372 billion Lankiveilians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bjondax. The average income tax rate is 12.5%.

The strong Lankiveilian economy, worth 669 trillion kamas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 64,542 kamas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, government agents stalk the aisles of grocery stores for out-of-stock medications, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lankiveil's national animal is the whale, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans, and its national religion is Maumiqism.

Lankiveil is ranked 137,403^rd in the world and 3^rd in Alaska for Most Developed, scoring 57.09 on the Human Development Index.
