The Federal Republic of Listavia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare.

The powerhouse Listavian economy, worth 145 trillion Lists a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 110,874 Lists, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals, the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, children are afraid to go out at night due to the ubiquity of hardened jaywalkers, and surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color.

Listavia is ranked 285,591^st in the world and 350^th in Starlight for Largest Black Market, with 52.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
