The Grand Empire of Laurarcor is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Viktor with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and national health service. The compassionate, cheerful population of 23.191 billion Laurarcorians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Victoria Plaz. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Laurarcorian economy, worth a remarkable 5,414 trillion Xcorvics a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 233,484 Xcorvics, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Days begin with afternoon tea, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laurarcor's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nixon Casteri.

Laurarcor is ranked 195,792^nd in the world and 27^th in Wysteria for Highest Drug Use, scoring 103.53 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
