The Republic of Lorissa is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, otherworldly petting zoo, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.908 billion Lorissans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government prioritizes Industry, although Education, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 8.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Lorissan economy, worth 542 trillion Lorissan Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 186,534 Lorissan Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

There is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, descriptions of properties as "a stone's throw from the city centre" require a trebuchet to be true, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, and psychiatrists that date patients are congratulated on their romantic conquests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lorissa's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lorissa is ranked 309,585^th in the world and 1,410^th in Europe for Most Primitive, scoring -460.15 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
