“Ut Unus Nos Successio!”

The Socialist State of Loria Aesir is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Uri Loskov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, cynical population of 1.955 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monroe City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Tourism.

The nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, all news sources are under strict government control, guns are banned, and speaking out against the government is punishable by flogging. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Loria Aesir's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the rune.

Loria Aesir is ranked 45th in the region and 3,003rd in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
