The Colony of Luroth is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, unlimited-speed roads, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 36.949 billion Lurothians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 28.2%.

The very strong Lurothian economy, worth a remarkable 1,822 trillion roths a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is 49,319 roths, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, the Navy has outraged the international community by sinking a boatload of refugees to prevent them reaching the shore, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, and pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Luroth's national animal is the turoth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Luroth is ranked 196,412^th in the world and 15^th in Continent of Newearthland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
