The Free Land of Loure Vill is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Billy Joe Franklin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.566 billion Loure Villians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Croport. The average income tax rate is 72.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Loure Villian economy, worth 344 trillion Fins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 134,262 Fins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Executions often take hours as amateurs attempt to find veins, sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, children crying over dropped ice creams are offered high doses of experimental antidepressants, and feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Loure Vill's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Fertilius.

Loure Vill is ranked 220,751st in the world and 278th in KAISERREICH for Safest, scoring 29.47 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
