The Oligarchic Empire of Lorranza is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Victtorio Raphael I with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.302 billion Lorranzians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tripolianta. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The thriving Lorranzian economy, worth 104 trillion Lorranzian Lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 80,546 Lorranzian Lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 291,722 per year while the poor average 15,857, a ratio of 18.4 to 1.

In life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, being Emperor Victtorio Raphael I has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, the nation's soldiers sleep four to a bed in order to use space economically, and foreign visitors who show an interest in Lorranzian politics are immediately deported. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lorranza's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Church of All Saints.

Lorranza is ranked 294,847^th in the world and 69^th in Flanelistan for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 31.46 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
