The Republic of Labavaria is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Librick Sarlakov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, pith helmet sales, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.304 billion Labavarians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drinitia. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Labavarian economy, worth 196 trillion Markoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 150,495 Markoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Labavarian military drills look more like joint-Balder exercises than anything else, travelers praise airports for their endless beige corridors, aid workers deliver life-saving supplies with a devious gleam in their eyes, and sex changes are routinely performed at Labavaria's hospitals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Labavaria's national animal is the Samandrina, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sarlakovism.

Labavaria is ranked 10,084^th in the world and 614^th in Balder for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,516.2 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
