The Conquistadorian Theocracy of San Laurenz is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Ovido Morales with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, soft-spoken computers, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.581 billion Lorenzians 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.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zajaviña. The average income tax rate is 7.8%.

The thriving San Laurenzian economy, worth 286 trillion Concevas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 79,971 Concevas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

The working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes, sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired, and Lorenzians are free from pain - but the side effects include loss of individual thought and freedom. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. San Laurenz's national animal is the Greyhound, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Faith of Palla.

San Laurenz is ranked 83,195^th in the world and 1^st in Pallanin Nuevo for Highest Poor Incomes, with 33,907.39 Standard Monetary Units.
