The Republic of Larissa is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Legate Constantine Stavros with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.237 billion Larissans are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Achilles. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.9%.

The strong Larissan economy, worth 329 trillion denaris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 62,872 denaris, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Legate Constantine Stavros has just been declared ruler of Larissa in an international press conference, Larissa has designated Achilles as its capital city, the government loves seeing the little people fight, and the dartboard at the Larissan Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Legate Constantine Stavros's face. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Larissa's national animal is the ram, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tellurism.

Larissa is ranked 81,532^nd in the world and 3^rd in Eastern Roman Empire for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 45.34 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
