The Dictatorship of Don Laria is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.481 billion Don Larians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Don NSEW City. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Don Larian economy, worth 58.8 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 39,708 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, the only women behind bars are barmaids, and the majority of the country's traffic wardens have been sacked overnight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Don Laria's national animal is the Laria, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Don Laria is ranked 50,296th in the world and 4th in North South East West for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,944.41 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
