The Oppressed Peoples of Lavik is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.083 billion Lavikians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.4%.

The strong Lavikian economy, worth 174 trillion baht a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 42,649 baht, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem. Lavik's national animal is the beaver, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lavik is ranked 38,988^th in the world and 1^st in shiv for Highest Drug Use, scoring 307.46 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
