The Matriarchy of Lorecia is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, triple-decker prams, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 479 million Lorecians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Erevecchia. The average income tax rate is 19.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Lorecian economy, worth 32.4 trillion Lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,711 Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, jaw strain is an increasingly common ailment, war vets look after war animals, and most voters only see their chosen representative visit once every election cycle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Lorecia's national animal is the Lion.

Lorecia is ranked 241,043^rd in the world and 11,310^th in Lazarus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 163.59 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
