The Lorasia Commonwealth States of The New Centro States of China and NK is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.721 billion Lorasians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The New Centro States of China and NK's national animal is the Animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
