The Empire of Lavanta is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Jeffrey Philippe with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 7.166 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 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 84.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lavantan economy, worth a remarkable 1,166 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 162,715 Lavantan Karas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Airport announcements inform passengers that flights have been delayed because pilots are having afternoon naps, the nickname "chair force" is increasingly literal, cultural heritage is measured in Scoville Heat Units, and the government sells explosives to fund bomb squads. 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 130,933^rd in the world and 7,334^th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,484.25 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
