The Verzweifeln of Parliamentary Laramidia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Ema Webbe with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 8.422 billion Laramidians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vorerah. The average income tax rate is 94.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Parliamentary Laramidian economy, worth a remarkable 1,812 trillion LArs a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 215,233 LArs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Turnstile jumpers grow up to be tax cheats, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, and hordes of tourists are ruining the environment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parliamentary Laramidia's national animal is the Afidatio bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The originals of the forest.

Parliamentary Laramidia is ranked 266,398^th in the world and 1,196^th in Europe for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -375.76 on the Hayek Index.
