The Federation of LARPestasia is a large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 107 million LARPestasians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 9.8%.

The LARPestasian economy, worth 4.61 trillion LarpBits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 43,124 LarpBits, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Army pay is to kill and die for, Leader's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many, the flight attendant who draws the short straw is on "cockpit bucket duty", and small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. LARPestasia's national animal is the Great Larping Parrot, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

LARPestasia is ranked 45,176^th in the world and 1^st in the Quppet Storage for Fattest Citizens, with 14.15 Obesity Rate.
