The Galactic Empire of Laurasia is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Lysimachus II with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.663 billion Laurasians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Christiania. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Laurasian economy, worth a remarkable 3,229 trillion Imperial Datarieses a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 193,815 Imperial Datarieses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exterminator companies deploy nerve gas in turf wars, nobody likes bad boys any more, corrupt officials have adopted the greater good as their catchphrase, and billions of Imperial Datarieses are spent to take high-quality photos of the Great Laurasian Tiger Nebula. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laurasia's national animal is the Great Laurasian Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Imperial Almitism.

Laurasia is ranked 176,918^th in the world and 1^st in Caladarian Galaxy for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 880.31 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
