The Grand Empire of Laurarcor is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Viktor with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 23.073 billion Laurarcorians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Victoria Plaz. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Laurarcorian economy, worth a remarkable 5,381 trillion Xcorvics a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 233,224 Xcorvics, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, the nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake, days begin with afternoon tea, and Jennifer Government is a bestseller. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laurarcor's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nixon Casteri.

Laurarcor is ranked 3,679^th in the world and 9^th in Wysteria for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 9,549.79 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
