The Socialist Kingdom of Latiet is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by King Virdirlian with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.615 billion Latiniae are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rälf. The average income tax rate is 62.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Latitian economy, worth 389 trillion eres a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,933 eres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is compulsory, traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens, and matryoshka dolls resembling nested Death Stars are commonly sold. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Latiet's national animal is the kalaan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lanithian Paganism.

Latiet is ranked 283,042^nd in the world and 1,172^nd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -12.49 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
