The Armed Republic of Loratomic is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical population of 10.768 billion Loranians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.5%.

The very strong Loranian economy, worth 636 trillion rubledollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 59,093 rubledollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 239,598 per year while the poor average 9,701, a ratio of 24.7 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, surveillance cameras are banned, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime is a problem. Loratomic's national animal is the hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Loratomic is ranked 58,443^rd in the world and 7^th in ATOMIC for Largest Populations, with 10.8 billion capita.
