The Lartocratic Empire of Lartace is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Savatigika Romullaf with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, devout population of 5.929 billion Lartaceans 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.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mangover. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lartacean economy, worth 605 trillion Æztidags a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 102,020 Æztidags, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, weekends are spent tilting at windmills, and high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lartace's national animal is the Snake Fánsio, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Draconic.

Lartace is ranked 201,963^rd in the world and 592^nd in Europe for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.25 percentage of bribes refused.
