The Michigan State Capital of Lansing is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 7.1 billion Lansingites hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.5%.

The strong Lansingian economy, worth 394 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 55,590 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lansing's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Lansing is ranked 43,687^th in the world and 2^nd in Michigan for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,982.07 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
