The Temple-Worlds of LVSTRIA is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The Venerable Lord Kroak with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.164 billion Seraphon are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ITZA. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Seraphon economy, worth 97.5 trillion k'an táak'iins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,750 k'an táak'iins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, and herbal teas are only consumed by hipsters who want to look marginal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LVSTRIA's national animal is the Cold One, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Great Plan.

LVSTRIA is ranked 227,093rd in the world and 46th in The United Federations for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 226.61 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
