The West Pacifican Nation of The Langburn Islands is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Bear Logan with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.045 billion Langburnians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Onita. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Langburnian economy, worth 269 trillion dollars 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 131,782 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Only lightning has a chance of striking President Bear Logan twice, artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air, basic multiplication is all you need to know to have a child, and political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act. Crime is totally unknown. The Langburn Islands's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Langburn Islands is ranked 4,034^th in the world and 95^th in the Rejected Realms for Nicest Citizens, with 52.95 average smiles per day.
