The Republic of Lacinia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its vat-grown people, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 260 million Lacinians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lorem. The average income tax rate is 30.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Lacinian economy, worth 23.1 trillion Lacans a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 88,963 Lacans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lacinia has designated Lorem as its capital city, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, and the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lacinia's national animal is the Porcupine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lacinia is ranked 241,425^th in the world and 245^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 47.09 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
