The Totalitarian Oligarchy of Laurasia (Totl Oligo Laurasia in Lausem) is a farely new nation in comparison to others. Composed of the remnants of the Soviet Union, Laurasia is what has been deemed by the Party as enlightened or freed. After the Soviet Reformation, the CPSU - effectively rulers of the Soviet state - revealed their true goal: power. Since then, former democratic allies to the Soviet Union have been pushed aside and beaten from the diplomatic sector, causing great international turmoil within the countries formerly allied with the Soviet Union. Yet, throughout this turmoil, the Soviet Union has kept its ally: Delta Green, and has potential to gain support from other totalitarian systems.

Laurasia's political spectrum is ruled by the ideaology of oligarchical collectivism (OLICOL in Lausem) which is embodied in Father and the Party. This totalitarian form of domination has drawn criticism from almost the entirety of the international community, but the criticism generally goes ignored. Due to this tension caused by the new form of government, however, Laurasia continues to operate in some form of bureaucracy while replacing the Political Bureau with the Inner Party.

Laurasians tend to be blissfully ignorant of their own domination. This is mostly due to the complete governing comprised by the Party and its success with propaganda and the creation of a cult of personality around Father. Yet, this was easily accomplished mostly due to the continued mandation of Dystorium, which was discovered to be a psychoactive drug much like Brave New World's soma or Equilibrium's Prozium. The domination of the entire population is still inhibited by the mandation of Dystorium injections - even though there is no specific law mandating it.

Laurasian policies are also controversial. While being completely totalitarian domestically, Laurasia tends to have a bit more open diplomatic policy. The government tends to align themselves with many nations with diverse political, social, and economic doctrines. It is suspected that this is occurs due to ulterior motives within the Party and their thirst for power. It is summed up best in George Orwell's quote from Nineteen Eighty-Four: "The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power."

Overall, Laurasia is a new form of dictatorship found only in the 21st Century. A dictatorship that does not hide or refuse to accept their ultimate goals: power. The German Nazis and the Soviets came very close to them in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. The Party has accepted their ultimate goal and have accepted the fact that they are willing to do almost anything in order to achieve it.

Under construction.
