The New Hyperian Piratocracy of Laurentus States is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Laurentus with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, ubiquitous missile silos, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, humorless population of 13.782 billion Laurentians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lumenera. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Laurentian economy, worth a remarkable 5,012 trillion sovereigns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 363,683 sovereigns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
State dairy cow's milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, posters on 'Laurentian Values' advise against being proud of Laurentus States, the government decides its policies by observing the flight of birds, and the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laurentus States's national animal is the Desert Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is None.
Laurentus States is ranked 1,450th in the world and 3rd in Wintreath for Safest, scoring 154.83 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
