The Republic of Lamtra is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 607 million Lamtrans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Lamtran economy, worth 55.3 trillion Lumiones a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 91,137 Lumiones, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

Michelin-star chefs are being called on to prepare menus for six-year-olds, Lamtra successfully hosted the Holo Olympics, talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction, and recent events have left citizens both shaken and stirred. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lamtra's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lamtra is ranked 108,595th in the world and 9th in Holo for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 2,836.39 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
