The Principality of The Royal Laron is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Grand Duke Su Jun Ping with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, avant-garde cinema, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.356 billion Royal Laronians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Great Xendos. The average income tax rate is 53.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Royal Laronian economy, worth 463 trillion lars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,348 lars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', and it is popularly believed that "cheese every day keeps disaster away". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Royal Laron's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Royal Laron is ranked 66,020^th in the world and 16^th in Kingdom of Ramility for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 49,770.88 Standard Monetary Units.
