The Red and Gold Republic of Llorens is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Sofia Vusmein with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.066 billion Llorenians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zexaro. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Llorenian economy, worth 987 trillion llorençs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 162,782 llorençs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, and doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Llorens's national animal is the loquito, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Llorens is ranked 5,044^th in the world and 12^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 8,535.73 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
