The Federation of An Lar is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its public floggings, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 400 million Larians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 8.0%.

The strong Larian economy, worth 25.0 trillion Larenis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 62,539 Larenis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, a death threat has replaced 'hello' as an official greeting in the nation, an underground group of geologists hides new discoveries to protect them from being destroyed in the name of safety, and giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Leader is a silly poophead. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. An Lar's national animal is the Deer.

An Lar is ranked 269,778^th in the world and 397^th in The League for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -9.49 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
