The Democratic States of Lashnakia is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Secretary Matevz Pintar with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, soft-spoken computers, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 14.421 billion Lashnakians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hastraciiria. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Lashnakian economy, worth 781 trillion Zeknas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Cheese Exports. Average income is 54,193 Zeknas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, the nation's declaring that sharing nukes is caring, and the military claims that their threatening letters are signed with the blood of their enemies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lashnakia's national animal is the Hrose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Lashnakia is ranked 32,202^nd in the world and 1,276^th in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 14.4 billion capita.
