The Supreme Rule of Laurarcor is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Richard Nixon with an iron fist, and remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.535 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Victoria Plaz. The average income tax rate is 98%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing.

Dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, all guns must be registered, artists are pillars of society, and military spending is on the increase. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laurarcor's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Nixon Casteri, and its currency is the Xcorvic.

Laurarcor is ranked 16th in Wysteria and 2,632nd in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 31 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
