The Syndicalist Federations of Lorthanien is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Kastjan with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, anti-smoking policies, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 16.274 billion Lorthanians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lorthograd. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lorthanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,916 trillion Rubleys a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 117,745 Rubleys, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor, and when their backs are against the walls Lorthanians look out for gay men. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lorthanien's national animal is the Salmon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Lorthanien is ranked 5,610^th in the world and 158^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 14,439.45 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
