The Empire of Lorb is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 567 million Lorbians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valmoria. The average income tax rate is 42.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Lorbian economy, worth 36.7 trillion orbs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 64,748 orbs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Lorb Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied unicorn, and military doctrine says not to open fire until you see the "beady little eyes" of Johnny Foreigner. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lorb's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lorb is ranked 221,936th in the world and 6th in Supa Squad for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring zero on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
