The Federal Republic of Listavia is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.264 billion Listavians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Erin Lomen. The average income tax rate is 41.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Listavian economy, worth 138 trillion Lists a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 109,507 Lists, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Listavian democracy, the alien invasion siren sounds eerily like a UFO, thrift shops are closing their doors, and a positive GPA is all it takes to get an elite education. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Listavia's national animal is the Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Listavia is ranked 232,339^th in the world and 258^th in Starlight for Largest Populations, with 1.26 billion capita.
