Laururana

The Kingdom of Laururana is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 8.26 billion Laururanans 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 prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Spirituality are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 49.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Laururanan economy, worth 240 trillion Severed Heads a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 29,102 Severed Heads, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Workers for the environmental protection agency are patted down for tartar sauce every morning, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, the aims of top-secret Laururanan science projects revolve around designing the perfect robot woman, and all the playground's a stage for Laururanan schoolchildren. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laururana's national animal is the The Satyr, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Laururana is ranked 84,847th in the world and 4,500th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.88 law-abiding acts per hour.
