The Kingdom of Grandest Duchy of Livonia is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, otherworldly petting zoo, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 396 million Livonians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riga. The average income tax rate is 49.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Livonian economy, worth 35.0 trillion Livonian Korunas a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 88,423 Livonian Korunas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Lip-readers are often left perplexed by political rallies, the nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies", Bald Eagles with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, and citizens hear a diversity of opinions from a range of billionaire-owned corporations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grandest Duchy of Livonia's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Grandest Duchy of Livonia is ranked 67,853^rd in the world and 85^th in Morpheus for Safest, scoring 95.69 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
