The Fair State of Larinia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Zsoltan Miola with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.732 billion Larines are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nyinkormänok. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Lariny economy, worth a remarkable 5,832 trillion lorváks 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 Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 311,373 lorváks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, angry men scowl at each other across chess boards, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and Renaissance frescos are being chiselled off public walls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Larinia's national animal is the Alicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Larinia is ranked 294,332^nd in the world and 11,349^th in Lazarus for Most Armed, with 0.07 weapons per person.
