The Armed Republic of Greater Lamero is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Erich Kopitar with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 2.408 billion Greater Lameroans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trebnje. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Greater Lameroan economy, worth 300 trillion Lamer Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 124,614 Lamer Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Halberds are common 18th birthday presents, the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, the term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning, and people are more interested in gossip about the private lives of politicians than their policies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Greater Lamero's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Greater Lamero is ranked 16,594^th in the world and 405^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 310.51 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
