The Kingdom of Latinai is a small, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 45 million Latinaians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 40.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Latinaian economy, worth 1.77 trillion Denarii a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,271 Denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists often cite 'hiding money in an off-shore banking account' as their main reason to visit the nation, cubicles often double as graves as citizens literally work themselves to death, press conferences always end with standing ovations and rapturous applause, and "Darwin's Disease" is a growing cause of death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Latinai's national animal is the Wolf.

Latinai is ranked 124,218^th in the world and 30^th in Astellaria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
