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

The Empire of Lorscinia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Nakamura Shinji with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.846 billion Lorscinians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 39.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Lorscinian economy, worth 379 trillion Yen a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,453 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, euthanasia is illegal, and TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lorscinia's national animal is the Green pheasant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shinto.

Lorscinia is ranked 76,108^th in the world and 3^rd in South Newtown for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
