The Blue Skies of Lormistan is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Abraham Bingham with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 9.367 billion Lormanis hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of עיר חופש. The average income tax rate is 40.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Lormani economy, worth a remarkable 1,028 trillion Bananas 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Book Publishing, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. 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 109,754 Bananas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, interest in globalism never flags, the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, and it's been a banner year for local vexillology. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Lormistan's national animal is the Hairless Rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Lormistan is ranked 274,543rd in the world and 27th in Icor for Safest, scoring 7.56 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
