The Queendom of Lorene is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 11.812 billion Loreneans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.3%.

The strong Lorenean economy, worth 646 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 54,747 betales, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 339,600 per year while the poor average 3,799, a ratio of 89.4 to 1.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, the tenet of free speech is held dear, meetings are often scheduled for "about four-ish" following complete conversion to sundials, and the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Lorene's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lorene is ranked 119,925^th in the world and 7^th in Toronto for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
