The Fair State of Larinia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Zsoltan Miola with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, zero percent divorce rate, and public floggings. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.797 billion Larines are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nyinkormänok. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Lariny economy, worth a remarkable 5,858 trillion lorváks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 311,674 lorváks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, Renaissance frescos are being chiselled off public walls, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Larinia's national animal is the Alicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Larinia is ranked 166^th in the world and 2^nd in Lazarus for Most Beautiful Environments, with 9,199.68 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
