The Constitutional Monarchy of Laureniad is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.332 billion Laureniadians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rathana. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Laureniadian economy, worth 511 trillion Guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,933 Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prime Minister's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, dictionary sales have hit an all-time high, schoolyard bullying has a tendency to escalate, and Prime Minister can't hear a thing when the unwashed masses throw rocks at the new state limousine. Crime is totally unknown. Laureniad's national animal is the Polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Laureniad is ranked 13,213^th in the world and 290^th in The East Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 54.3 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
