The country is a republic comprising of fourteen counties, with government buildings based in Marevica, the capital. It is one of the least populous countries in Stratus. Its coast lies entirely on the Besplatno Sea. Lauderdalle borders Oraguene to the northeast. Its capital and largest city is Marevica, with 790,017 inhabitants as of 2021. The main international airports of Lauderdalle are based in Marevica. Of the 3.87 million citizens of Lauderdalle, the majority inhabit the coastal areas, as these areas have the greatest area of flat arable lands.

The territory of modern Lauderdalle has been inhabited since the 6th Century. The second major civilization, the Splitian Empire appeared around the 7th Century and dominated much of the Bogati Rico. In 1752, the Treaty of Zagrebia limited the territorial claims of the Splitian Empire, and lowered it's size dramatically. In 1780, the People's Republic of Belapolist was established in order to centralise control over the fourteen counties in Lauderdalle. Over the next century, the People's Republic of Belapolist, became a totalitarian regime, which was the beginning of the Belapolistian War. In the Europa War, Lauderdalle's instability led to the Elegancija Civil War, which led to the formation of Lauderdalle.

The capital and largest city is Marevica, which has a population of 790,017. Other major urban areas of the Lauderdalle include Split, Zagrebia, Grazar, and Bosito-Zadar. Each of the counties have their own county councils that function as devolved legislatures, and due to the republican nature of the nation, these councils contribute their authority to Sabor. Lauderdalle has achieved a relatively mediocre standard of living and is ranked decently in quality-of-life indicators.

Lauderdalle shares a border with Oraguene to the northeast. Mabanarlan is also the nation's primary trading partner. Lauderdalle has a lower population and GDP, so it suffers from a lower rate of poverty than Mabanarlan or Oraguene. Due to the Strvinar Mountain Range which dominates the southern part of the nation, it has extensive hydroelectric potential, in addition to a growing tourist sector. Lauderdalle is a republic, under a parliamentary system with fusion of the executive and legislature, and an independent judiciary, though according to a study by the Pravapolitika Bureau, the judiciary is several percentage points more likely to support the County Party than the general population.

Lauderdalle is a member of the Stratus Nations and is signatory to a number of international treaties. It is a member of the Europaean Union, a defense pact for Europaean countries.
