The Republic of San Loro is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 939 million Loroans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 20.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The San Loroan economy, worth 34.5 trillion American Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,739 American Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Thousands of children die every day from easily curable illnesses, the government snoops on private internet connections, business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, and military spending is on the increase. Crime is totally unknown. San Loro's national animal is the White-bellied parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

San Loro is ranked 15,946^th in the world and 135^th in Europeia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 53.84 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
