The Pink Duck and Friend of TNP of Laforeia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Rhyo Karuna with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.849 billion Laforeians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Laforic economy, worth 627 trillion Yeifas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 163,066 Yeifas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visual acuity is worsening amongst teenagers, at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Rhyo Karuna's wardrobe, badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game, and posters on 'Laforic Values' advise against being proud of Laforeia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laforeia's national animal is the Pangolin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Friendshieism.

Laforeia is ranked 284,544^th in the world and 6,204^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.39 flags saluted per person per day.
