The Red and Gold Republic of Llorens is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Sofia Vusmein with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.061 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 985 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 162,663 llorençs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminals always seem to be forewarned of police raids, there's a lot of babies crying for milk in the middle of the day, the nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", and citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones. 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 767^th in the world and 3^rd in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 93.03 Workforce Participation Rate.
