The Republic of Laskadari is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The hard-working population of 190 million Laskadarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 40.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Laskadarian economy, worth 11.3 trillion Sahels a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,361 Sahels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conspiracy theorists allege Laskadari City's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, the contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Laskadari, candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, and adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laskadari's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Laskadari is ranked 85,736^th in the world and 1,043^rd in the West Pacific for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 3,615.27 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
