The Empire of Lorb is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and enforced nudity. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 500 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 Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valmoria. The average income tax rate is 40.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Lorbian economy, worth 27.6 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 55,100 orbs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, and large sections of Lorb have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lorb's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lorb is ranked 271,231st in the world and 2nd in Supa Squad for Largest Populations, with 500 million capita.
