The Republic of Labix is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Vori‑Dakiru with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.121 billion Labixí-garu 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Finnurma. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Labixí economy, worth 821 trillion Labixí Shells 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 led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 115,393 Labixí Shells, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nobody knows why the caged Carmen Turtle sings, customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags, turning the other cheek is accompanied by a polite letter of complaint, and reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Labix's national animal is the Carmen Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Labix is ranked 36,659^th in the world and 124^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 5,093.95 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
