The Republic of Labavaria is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Librick Sarlakov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.232 billion Labavarians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drinitia. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Labavarian economy, worth 178 trillion Markoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 144,836 Markoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

City mayors have to get permission from parliament to take a vacation day, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, fraternities are rejoicing at government-subsidized partying, and public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Labavaria's national animal is the Samandrina, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sarlakovism.

Labavaria is ranked 309,556^th in the world and 16,694^th in Balder for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.95 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
