The Republic of Latino Americo is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Monte Montero-Morales with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 5.079 billion Latino Americoans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Esperanza. The average income tax rate is 51.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Latino Americoan economy, worth 672 trillion Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 132,484 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, and the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Latino Americo's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Latino Americo is ranked 19,921^st in the world and 211^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Cultured, scoring 88 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
