The Red Menace of Lormia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rex Aliquet with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, ritual sacrifices, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.341 billion Lormians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aliquet Civitatem. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Lormian economy, worth 468 trillion Bananas a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 50,177 Bananas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Open-heart surgery is taught in seminaries, citizens who don't attend the nation's massive military parades tend to disappear overnight, the nation's new religious police burn blasphemers on bonfires of their own books, and atheists are heavily taxed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Lormia's national animal is the Banana Boa Constrictor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Aliquetism.

Lormia is ranked 45,464^th in the world and 68^th in Karma for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.6 law-abiding acts per hour.
