The Private Military Company of Larego is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The Eternal Prince with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.744 billion Laregoans 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blackwater. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Laregoan economy, worth 527 trillion daghs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 192,073 daghs, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Cubicles often double as graves as citizens literally work themselves to death, parents who fail mandatory parenting classes risk having their children taken away, city rooftops are pockmarked with the shattered remains of high velocity delivery drones, and homesickness is thought to be a waterborne illness. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Larego's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Belfortism.

Larego is ranked 281,162^nd in the world and 10,458^th in Osiris for Most Primitive, scoring -355 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
