The Insular Area of Lovers Cay is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its state-planned economy, ritual sacrifices, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.465 billion Lovers Cayians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Loveseat. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Lovers Cayian economy, worth 255 trillion Imperial Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 103,665 Imperial Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, fair-weather fans talk during plays while die-hard theatre enthusiasts stay at home, and ministers are now allowed to put suggestions in the governmental suggestion box. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lovers Cay's national animal is the Argyrean Tobacco Dog.

Lovers Cay is ranked 161,930th in the world and 3rd in World Ocean for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,219.69 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
