The Diocesan Workers' Federation of Latimandia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Sister in Christ Jacky with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, rampant corporate plagiarism, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, devout population of 8.35 billion Latimandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lati City. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Latimandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,244 trillion Lats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 149,092 Lats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food, not many kids know Shakespeare's Hamlet but most of them have seen unofficial sequel Hamlet III - The Search For Osric, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, and rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million Lats of property damage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Latimandia's national animal is the Pentacorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Anglican Church of Latimandia.

Latimandia is ranked 4,581st in the world and 3rd in Union of Christian Nations for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 4,417.63 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
