The United Archipelagic Republic of Larefo is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Nikoleta Sikoliatou with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 3.357 billion Larefoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astila. The average income tax rate is 75.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Larefoan economy, worth 354 trillion Larefoan Dinars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 105,457 Larefoan Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sex education has become an intricate maze of stick figures and complex metaphors, most citizens in Larefo are abject pyrophobes after extremely graphic pamphlets were mailed nationwide by the government, abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, and the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Larefo's national animal is the Larefoan Snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is No official Religion.

Larefo is ranked 309,968th in the world and 1,463rd in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 0.53 flags saluted per person per day.
