The Free Land of Larbelia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 1.729 billion Larbelians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Larbelian economy, worth 20.5 trillion Larbels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 11,872 Larbels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Larbelia's national animal is the Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Larbelia is ranked 86,114^th in the world and 3,942^nd in Osiris for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 35.93 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
