The Latin Empire of Lacus Magni is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Constantine XX with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 33.506 billion Latins enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Spirituality, and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castellum ab Alba. The average income tax rate is 3.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Latin economy, worth a remarkable 5,691 trillion Lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 169,853 Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, elections are won by the candidate who makes the best 'yo mama' jokes, in a fit of passion Constantine XX has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions, and surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lacus Magni's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Fabrian Catholicism.

Lacus Magni is ranked 285,688^th in the world and 25^th in Ajax for Most Cultured, scoring 54 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
