The Czechoslovak Socialist State of Luralsk is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 981 million Czechoslovaks are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prague. The average income tax rate is 11.4%.

The very strong Luralskian economy, worth 67.0 trillion Czechoslovak Korunas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 68,344 Czechoslovak Korunas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, foreigners are treated with great suspicion, it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, and Leader has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Luralsk's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Luralsk is ranked 89,682^nd in the world and 148^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
