The Constitutional Monarchy of Lathrai is a small, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 20 million Lathraians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.9%.

The very strong Lathraian economy, worth 1.28 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 64,174 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 185,054 per year while the poor average 17,666, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

The police force is on a recruitment drive, meals are now followed by thirty minutes of mandatory exercise, euthanasia is legal, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lathrai's national animal is the fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lathrai is ranked 8,727^th in the world and 2^nd in Audinesca for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 6,094.79 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
