“Freedom is for everyone”

Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Grand republic of Laransa is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by krystal II with a fair hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.98 billion Laransini 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of arkavia. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Laransin economy, worth 425 trillion crintas 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 142,783 crintas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, home renovation projects take decades to complete, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, and the nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laransa's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Eltosonism.

Laransa is ranked 288,547^th in the world and 754^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -9.65 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
