The Federation of Lautoria is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by XXor with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.13 billion Lautorians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zeevi. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lautorian economy, worth a remarkable 1,169 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 105,107 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens who want to celebrate the holidays generally deck the halls with old newspaper trimmings and dirty socks, the government response to disaster victims starving for bread is "let them eat stale cake", the government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, and power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lautoria's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lautoria is ranked 286,985^th in the world and 2^nd in Staten Island for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,819.52 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
