The Allied States of Lorynia is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 13.891 billion Lorynians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 82.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Lorynian economy, worth a remarkable 1,291 trillion Larans a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,948 Larans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails, and newly synthesized elements' half-lives are a million times shorter than the time it takes to say their names. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lorynia's national animal is the Starling, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Elreithalyn.

Lorynia is ranked 269,181st in the world and 4,696th in The East Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -235.54 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
