The Empire of Lorb is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, enforced nudity, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 461 million Lorbians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valmoria. The average income tax rate is 38.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Lorbian economy, worth 25.0 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, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 54,130 orbs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
