The Republic of Lorendia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Annalena Bruner with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, lack of airports, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 4.417 billion Lorendians 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Everia. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lorendian economy, worth 482 trillion gold talents 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 led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 109,187 gold talents, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Guilt tripped foreigners heavily dictate child hunger in Lorendia, juries deliberate more than magic 8-balls, a common response to government PSAs is "well, DUH, obviously", and internal strife within the Red Bloc crumbles in the face of fiery rhetoric. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lorendia's national animal is the golden eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Lorendia is ranked 15,745th in the world and 657th in Osiris for Highest Poor Incomes, with 102,065.1 Standard Monetary Units.
