The Empire of Lorb is a huge, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 529 million Lorbians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valmoria. The average income tax rate is 40.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Lorbian economy, worth 33.8 trillion orbs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 63,801 orbs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

"The Pride of the Lorbian Skies" boasts an impressive 17 propellers and runs on turnip oil, schoolchildren learn an R-rated version of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes", a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, and hordes of tourists are ruining the environment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lorb's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lorb is ranked 28,730^th in the world and 1^st in Supa Squad for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,717.52 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
