The Kingdom of Lora Athel is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.747 billion Lora Athelians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Lora Athelian economy, worth 255 trillion Coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,721 Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Girls who wear lipstick are berated for pandering to male gazes, reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers, and the face of Leader is a permanent feature of the Lora Athel City skyline. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lora Athel's national animal is the Giant Eagle.

Lora Athel is ranked 37,332^nd in the world and 4^th in The Imperial Union of Order States for Most Cultured, scoring 77 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
