The Empire of Lavanta is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jeffrey Philippe with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 7.091 billion Lavantans 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, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lavanta City. The average income tax rate is 85.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lavantan economy, worth a remarkable 1,149 trillion Lavantan Karas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 162,172 Lavantan Karas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, Lavantan Eagle is one of the most popular forenames in Lavanta, and arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lavanta's national animal is the Lavantan Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lavanta is ranked 98,124^th in the world and 5,053^rd in Lazarus for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 11,797.65 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
