The Republic of Later Green is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, daily referendums, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 599 million Later Greenians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pormalia. The average income tax rate is 85.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Later Greenian economy, worth 48.2 trillion gold pies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 80,413 gold pies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, the banshee wail foretells skies of death, in musicals everybody's a little bit racist, and soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Later Green's national animal is the baby owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Later Green is ranked 125,935^th in the world and 3,776^th in the West Pacific for Largest Retail Industry, scoring 1,405.14 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
