The Republic of Lorendia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Annalena Bruner with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, lack of airports, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.631 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 86.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lorendian economy, worth 267 trillion gold talents a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,580 gold talents, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, surprising numbers of poor people are protesting against taxing the rich, dentists routinely perform open heart surgery, and mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found. 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 69,210th in the world and 22nd in Valley of Peace for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 71.89 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
