The Republic of Lorissa is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, pith helmet sales, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.627 billion Lorissans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Lorissan economy, worth 267 trillion dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 164,398 dinars, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

It is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander, city rooftops are pockmarked with the shattered remains of high velocity delivery drones, rare steaks seem even bluer now, and sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lorissa's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lorissa is ranked 49,720^th in the world and 605^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,369.14 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
