Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Free Land of Laurenzania is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 8.965 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 76%, and even higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.

The military frequently holds bake sales to raise funds, private business has started paving paradises and putting up parking lots, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Laurenzania's radio stations, and military funding has been stripped back. Crime is well under control. Laurenzania's national animal is the pig, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the lorentium.

Laurenzania is ranked 1st in Alliance of Socialist States and 22,669th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
